OpenOffice 3.0.0-4: spellchecking(ru)[SOLVED]

Hi,

I did everything by the book (I want Russian spellchecking). As a result, Tools->Extension Manager contains now "Russian hyphenation dictionary and thesaurus 2008.07.01" (nothing else). The toolbar button AutoSpellcheck is on. Also Tools->Language->For All Text->Russian. Still no spellchecking in evidence.

The relevant paragraph from Wiki ends in an interesting sentence:

Use the Extension Manager to add your language dictionary; this often enables spellcheck.

Looks like I belong to the unfortunate minority for which adding the dictionary sometimes does not enable spellcheck smile . Any suggestions?

The visible difference between the old 2.4.1 and new 3.0.0 is in Options-Language Settings-Languages: default language for documents is indeed Russian, but there's no spellcheck icon before the word "Russian" in the combo box. What's missing?

Hm, I'm having the same issue with a German dictionary. Installed through the extension manager but no show in the bottom bar...

Judging by this thread it means that it is down to the extension whether or not it shows up there. Will try another spell checker and see if it works.
