Re: [libreoffice-users] print or pdf with spell check mark up?

Thanks for the thorough reply and the useful information about the 
spellchecker dictionaries,

There are use-cases for this request, I think. I'm sending articles I've 
formatted to editors who are likely to do a lot of the proofreading on a 
printed version. Sure they have access to a computer too and can see the 
spellcheck mark-up there, but scrolling through 50 pages articles with 
lots of endnotes is quite slow and having potential problems flagged on 
the printed version would speed up the process, I think. Also a teacher 
may return a printed essay to a student and it might be useful for the 
spelling mistakes to be highlighted.

One reason I ask about the possibility, is I seem to remember printing a 
document this way by accident years ago. I can't remember what software 
I was using back then. But reading up on it now, all the sources say 
it's not possible in LO or Word. Maybe I imagined it. :-)

Regards,
Ryan
