[gentoo-user] Re: OpenOffice-bin spell checking?

[Mark Knecht <markknecht@gmail.com>]

Is OO really so stupid that it makes you add by hand for each user an
extension spelling library from /usr/lib/openoffice/extension/install
to get a spelling checker to work?

Is this anyway to run a business?

OK, solved. Working. I don't get it.

Sorry for the noise.
