I have installed openoffice-bin 2.1. I was trying to find my way in making (english) spell check to work. I found that "File> Wizards> Install new dictionaries" does not work. By googling I found that new dictionaried can be installed be emergign myspell-*. However, I have upgraded from a previous version of openoffice, that didn't need the myspell-* ebuild to work. In that installation, I had my dictionaries installed in my home dir. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open oppenoffice 2.Click "File> Wizards> Install new dictionaries" Actual Results: No wizard appears.
You are supposed to use eselect-ooodict and myspell dictionaries for this, not any wizards. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 139512 ***
(In reply to comment #1) > You are supposed to use eselect-ooodict and myspell dictionaries for this, not > any wizards. i) Why shouldn't I use wizards? Wouldn't it have the job done? It would also allow the user to use dictionaries the sysadmin didn't isntall. ii) If I am not supposed to use wizards, and the wizards was disabled intentionally, why wasn't it also removed from the menu? Or, it could open a window with a message saying '... Go read bug #139512 ... Thank you.". Something similar appears in Wizards>Letter if JRE is not setup correctly. > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 139512 *** Missed all the duplicate bug reports. I was looking something like 'wizards not working'. Sorry. If you find any reasoning/good points on this post, please consider reopening this report. Thank you.
<snip> einfo " Spell checking is now provided through our own myspell-ebuilds, " einfo " if you want to use it, please install the correct myspell package " einfo " according to your language needs. " </snip> The ebuild already tells you how to install the dictionaries, seems like you missed it. This is intended as explained on the other bug, so not going to change, sorry.
