Thanks for the replies - sorry for delay, been out.
I am on my Fedora 21 laptop atm and this Libreoffice writer works OK!
I could not find a font tab for my profile but just had a quick look in
my tools/options/language settings/writing aids looks the same.
Will check any differences and get back with info. FWIW my fedora laptop
is Version: 4.3.7.2.

This is driving me nuts!
It was working on the laptop and in not now. The language settings
were the same but gave up trying to diagnose the fault.
Removed all libreoffice on laptop re-installed it (I know I shouldn't do
that) and also renamed the home/.config/libreoffice/3 and /4. Reopened
writer to make a new profile but no success. It just runs then asks if I
want to go from the start then say it is complete with a page of rubbish.
I have just noticed what might be a clue!
In tools/Language/For selection I have English (UK) ticked and can
change the selection OK but in "For Paragraph" and "For all Text"
nothing is ticked and I cannot tick them!
I assume I should have one of them ticked.
Could someone confirm this is so with a working LOffice spellchecker
that is working?
I really do not want to go to another WP but it looks like I may have to
FYI this is the same on both "LO Writers" (laptop and PC), the laptop
fc 21 is version 4.3.7.2-9.fc21 the PC is 4.4.4.3-6.fc22
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried removing and adding only the Libre Office dictionaries ?
I think I also ran Libre Writer with no libraries before reinstalling.
I know there is no real logic to doing this but I had similar spell
check errors until I did it.

Peter,
LO handles spell checking at the character level - this allows you to
mix foreign language quotes inside paragraphs etc. It is not a user or
document global option.
That was why I asked what your paragraph and font styles report. Go into
the writer and hit F11 (or use Format -> Styles and Formatting). This
will show another pane with probably the current style selected. Right
click on Default Style and select Modify. Then look in the Font tab
where the language for the current paragraph will appear in a dropdown
list. Some of these will have ticks against them, and those will be the
languages you have available for spell checking for your current user.
Tools -> Language -> For Selection -> More... will take you more rapidly
to the character style language for the current location in the document.
Any language name with a tick and the letters ABC in front of it has a
dictionary installed for it. Which ones do you see? That will tell us
what you are missing.
Defaults can be found at Tools -> Language -> For all Text -> More...;
but that won't tell you which dictionaries are ready for you.
Andy
