    Spellchecker doesnt work

    Original Title: Spellchecker

    I have had spellchecker on my quick access toolbar for some time and it has worked well. Recently I have been writing in Welsh and English changing the language setting as appropriate. I know there is no Welsh spellchecker but when I go back to English
    the spellcheck appears not to work giving the 'complete' message when clearly there are errors in the text. Help please!

    Many thanks

    Spellcheck doesn't work

    I've no immediate answer but I do think we need to know the browser you are using as I believe the spellchecker is integrated into that, at least for typing into web pages.

    OpenOffice could be unrelated... there were historical issues on that.

    I'm using Chrome. How do I find the option to turn spellcheck on and off?

    Spellcheck doesn't work

    Do you mean Chrome spell checker does not correct errors, or that it does not work as well as you like it to?
    What version of Chrome are you using? A better spell checker is coming.

    The spellchecker doesn't work at all as I stated in my original post my spellcheck does not work no matter where I'm writing...Facebook, OpenOffice, here on this forum. Watch this: 7y6654tghj. The nonsense I just posted didn't get redlined. No matter where I am spellcheck does not work. Where do I find the option for turning on and off spellcheck in Chrome (recently downloaded so I assume latest version.) Thanks for your replies and I hope we can get this issue resolved.
