https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128520

Summary: Spellcheck not working when opening RTF files
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.12
Hardware: PC

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Major
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: help
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org

Target Milestone: ---
When opening any RTF file, spellcheck and auto correct doesn't work.
When opening an RTF file and saving it as an ODT and reopening the ODT file the

So, when opening RTF file and saving as an ODT file the RTF formant transitions
from RTF to ODT.

Don't reopen without posting additional information.
As said before your RTF is malformed, so causing the behavior described.

Yes, spellcheck works fine when creating a new OpenOffice document.
As for renaming user profile, I don't know what you mean.
I just install the program today.

--- Comment #13 from Peter <pe...@apache.org> ---
oooforum closed the issue because OpenOffice does not know the language it
should use to check. Which might cause the Issue you experience. So it can not
conduct any spell check. So AOO is working as expected. We try to keep user
user request away from our developer Bug tracking system. so he closed the
issue.
However if this is a first install, it is strange why the Language setting is
not set. Maybe we need to tweak the install routine?
Also maybe instead of just go dysfunctional, AOO should maybe inform the user
that spell checking is not working because AOO does not know what Language to
use?
@Paul - can you please check your default install checking if this resolves the
issue for you?
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Choosing_language_settings
If so we need to investigate how it can be that a default setting is unset.
IMHO this should not happen.
All the best
Peter

Renaming the profile is described in the link.
But looking at your other issue, you have definitely more problems with your
computer. You have several instances of OpenOffice running.
Did you restart your computer?

Please provide a document where spell check doesn't work for you.
Did you install OpenOffice for the first time on your computer or have you
updated from an older version?

Thank you for the picture that describes the problem, but what we would need is
a real RTF document.
Can you attach something like that?

The 4th line of the file provided by OP (rtd file - "Logs.rtf")
starts with: \pard\sa200\sl276\slmult1\f0\fs22\lang9
According to Rich Text Format (RTF) specs
\langN applies a language to a character.
N is a number corresponding to a language.
The "9" in \lang9 stands for English.
Testing the .rtf file with 4.1.13 en-US
\lang1 the Status Bar shows "Arabic" as language
\lang9 "Unknown"
\lang1025 "Arabic (Saudi Arabia)"
With \lang1033
the Status Bar displays "English (USA)" as language.
Spellcheck and auto correct do work.
(Same effect if "lang9" is deleted).

Yes, the language changes to "unknown" every time I copy and paste from WordPad
or open a rtf file the language goes to "unknown".
I selected all and change to English and Spell check started working again.

If I create a new document
Input some text in french (see that language set as it)
Save as RTF format
Close the document
Open this RTF document
See that language is still set as french
Spellcheck and autocorrect works as intented.
Tested with AOO 4.1.13 and Windows 10

Fresh install of AOO (en-US)
All settings under
Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages
on "English (USA)".
File "Logs.rtf" opened in Writer:
1. Status bar displays "Unknown"
2. after selecting all contents - Status bar displays
"Multiple Languages"
3. change to "English (USA)" - red wavy lines appear
4. text deselected - Status bar display "English (USA)"

Your Welcome, However you are now in the development stream, and it would be
nice if we could analyze this to the end.
Did the Language configuration cause the trouble you had?

Hi,
spell check works for me with RTF or any other file.
Have you checked if spell checking is working for you at all?
Most of the times the cure for spell check problems is to rename the user
profile.

Created attachment 87136

Open same file to another computer with different results.
On the first computer it filled just one page and added a blank page.
On computer 2 it pushed down 2 Tables to the second page and it change settings
from showing 1 page to 2 pages side by side.
Using the same file ran different form computer 1 to computer 2.
This picture is from computer 2. Computer 1 shows it a little different.

Copy from Notepad and the same copy from WordPad.
First time installing OpenOffice. v4.1.12
I copied a log from WordPad and Pasted a few lines to Notepad so any code would
be removed.
Then, I copied the log from Notepad to Open Office Write. The Spellchecked
works.
Then, I copied the log again Stright from WordPad which copied the codes (Tabs,
Line Spacing, Margins, ext. I didn't add any of that from WordPad.
If I type anything after the past from WordPad the Spellcheck wouldn't
underline any misspelled words at all.
But, if I type anything above on what I just Copy and Paste from WordPad (above
the redline in the picture) the AutoSpellcheck still worked.
