@reporter Menu 'Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids' is not appropriate for your needs? @Rainer: ah ok (Preferences Menu) -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids does indeed have the spelling options (in a different layout), thanks. This is still a usability bug though: 1) if you know that spelling options are *usually* accessed through Tools -> Spelling & Grammar..., it is perverse to sometimes hide this info. 2) as per original report, I looked under Preferences for either a) the component I was using "LibreOffice Writer", or general settings "LibreOffice". I don't remember if I thought of checking if there were other top-level options (that were, for some bizarre reason, not under "LibreOffice"), and clicked through to "Language Settings". Even if I *had* clicked to Language Settings, I'm not sure that "Writing Aids" makes me think of "Spelling" (which is what it means). And even if I *had* clicked on Writing Aids, the fact that it's in an entirely different layout to the dialog I was expecting, and starts with a list of supported languages, I might have discounted it. (Bearing in mind that when you're frantically looking for an option, you tend to ge a little one-track-minded about it!) Thanks again, H Apologies - not sure if I was meant to revert status back from "NEEDINFO"? I've taken liberty of setting back to "UNCONFIRMED". Hope that's OK, and please re-set if not! I believe a second button in the "Spellcheck conmplete" message might do the job? Currently we only have <ok>, when you click it the Spellcheck dialog disappears. A second Button <Settings> or similar that opens a spellcheck options dialog would ease handling. *** Bug 48021 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 62345 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #4) > I believe a second button in the "Spellcheck conmplete" message might do the > job? > Currently we only have <ok>, when you click it the Spellcheck dialog > disappears. > A second Button <Settings> or similar that opens a spellcheck options dialog > would ease handling. Agree. Alternately: Add Tools - Spelling and Grammar Options... It's so deep in Options that people may not find it. If they do, it's indeed annoying for people who need to access it frequently. Typing a non-word to get at it is much faster! |
