             Bug #: 48390
           Summary: Fresh installation of 3.5.2. Spell checker does not
                    work in Writer
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.2 Release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Linguistic component
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: rick.rpw at gmail.com


Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. SP 1
Acer Aspire X1420G, 4GB Ram
On installation of 3.5.1, spell checker would not work in Writer. 
In Language Settings, Writing aids, the Available language module field
was blank, no modules were listed. 
Uninstalled 3.5.1 and installed 3.5.2.  Spell checker still would not work.
I goggled the problem and found others having the same problem.  Took a
suggestion and downloaded the U.S. English Dictionary from Open Office.Org
Extensions. I used version 1.0 dated 29 October 2008.  I checked all language
settings to make sure US English was the default.  Success!  Now the spell
checker works.

I also installed 3.5.1 on a 32 bit XP system and everything worked fine,
including the spell checker. This was with all the settings at default.

I suspect that one of these variables may be the cause of the problem:
1) 64 bit system
2) Windows 7
3) The English dictionaries that come with 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 are not compatible
   with the program.

Other than that, LibreOffice is a great program and I am happy to have it.
Thank You!

-Rick.
