How To Fix LibreOffice Spell check
If you are a user of LibreOffice you probably have run into the issue after an upgrade where your spell check has stopped working. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t seem to do the trick.
This issue happened to me after I had installed LibreOffice 3.5.5 and 3.6.0. After a bit of digging around found a solution that worked.
Close LibreOffice (+ Quickstarter, if enabled and running)
Open Windows Explorer
Windows XP
Go to ‘…\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled’
Rename the folder ‘bundled’ to (example ‘bundled_old’)
Restart LibreOffice
Windows Vista / 7
Go to ‘…\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled’
Rename the folder ‘bundled’ to (example ‘bundled_old’)
Restart LibreOffice
The restart will rebuild the bundled directory and files and fix spell check.
