----- Forwarded message from Gary Kline <kline@thought.org> ----- Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2010 23:41:00 -0800 From: Gary Kline <kline@thought.org> Subject: Re: Openoffice3 and aspell To: Neil Short <neshort@yahoo.com> Cc: Adam Vande More <amvandemore@gmail.com>, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org The main reason I upgraded to OOo-311 was to have a functional spellchecker. I can't find any, even tho but clicking around I found ``en_US.oxt'' which is a zip file. The HElp file does not jibe with what's there in the File -> Wizards ... . Anyway, Adam, the extension you listed turns out to be the file I downloaded. How-to install the thing and get it working!? gary > > > > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ----- End forwarded message ----- About an hour ago things started working, and this time I made notes. ((__NOTE__: The thesaurus stuff is 28.0MB and harder to retrieve; I'll try later.)) Here is a cut and paste of my notes on getting en_US.oxt to install and work: Left mouse click on "Insert" top bar, go down to File at the last entry of the dropdown. [it may take several seconds.] A widget/window/dialogue will open in your cwd with a list of files that should include the spell-checking file, en_US.oxt. Scroll down the list and click on this file. Then click the "Insert" button on the dialog. You may need to restart OOo at least once until the checker starts underlining misspelled words. If anyone onlist can find WiRWib.oxt, the thesaurus file, I may be able to make it available on a server somewhere in the States. -gdk -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
