I use OpenOffice for myst school word processing, it is pretty awesome, but lacks on thing, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the spell checker to work. Does anyone else here have that problem? Has anyone gotten it to work? If so let me know please. Orbitz

Spell checking was a third-party module included in StarOffice, as was the printing system. Preliminary version of both are in the works, and I believe printing is in the latest build of OpenOffice, though I've never used it. Sun is supposed to be releasing StarOffice 6 sometime soon, which I would guess would include these extras and be somewhat based on OpenOffice, but I've only heard rumors back and forth to that end.

It was removed from the source because the company that it was originally licensed from wasn't interested in GPLing it. I don't think you'd be able to find it in any binary form that would fit into the OpenOffice architecture. Brian J.

Alright, who wants to write an OpenOffice spellchecker? It can't be too hard to steal - I mean, work based off of aspell... You can start at <http://aspell.sourceforge.net/>... :) "Brian J. Conway" wrote:
