Re: [libreoffice-users] spelling + grammar checker in writer

I believe there has been some work on the Spell Checking system since 
then, but I could be wrong.  I use to use the OOo extension that changed 
to a different "system", but I stopped doing that in the 3.5.x series/line.

To be honest, you might see some improvements with the 3.6.5 version of 
the Debian installs.

There are some items in the Tools>Options section about how and what is 
used for the spell checking.  You might want to "play around" with those 
settings to see if things improve for you. Words with numbers and 
Capitals lettering are listed there in the options for spell checking.  
Depending on what is installed on your system, the options may be 
different than mine.

I came from OOo 1.x era for my first non-MSO package since I switch to 
MSO-95.  I started using LO with its first offering.

Your description of the "killing of manual formatting" is something I 
have never seen.  You are saying that you have formatted words in things 
like Bold, Italic, and other text and paragraph formatting styles, and 
the spell checking system is changing them as its works?

Weird.  I would be upset as well.

Since 3.5.3 is "old" for a LO version, maybe you should download and 
install the 3.6.5 Debian version of LO from the web pages.  If the 
problem still is there than it is a matter for the developers need to 
deal with through the "bug" process.

Sometimes the renaming of the .libreoffice hidden folder will help, 
since it resets the user profile, which sometimes gets messed up and 
caused some "weird" errors.  Sometimes weird printer errors are caused 
by the profile being "corrupted" in some manner.  Sometimes checking or 
unchecking options in the Tools>Options menus might fix the issue.  It 
did for a weird duplex problem for some printers.

Since the "issue" you are having has been with the OOo/LO projects for 
that long, you might want to make a list of all of the extensions and 
add-ons you are using and then including that with a bug report to the 
devs.  As I stated, I use to use a OOo extension that worked with the 
spell checking system and "modified it" for more options than OOo and LO 
had in those early days.  Now I do not.

I really hope the developers, via the bug reporting system, can help you.
