Spell check is REALLY messed up

Hi,

I don't know why, but in any* app that supports spell check, i.e. Tomboy Notes or Open Office 3.0-base, EVERY word is red underlined.  I uninstalled open office and re-installed, no luck

Any help?  How to reinstall the dictionaries?

@.@

THANKS!

For tomboy you'll need to install dictionary files for aspell. So if it's English, install aspell-en.

OpenOffice requires a separate dictionaries. Install those through the extensions menu. I don't have it installed, so I can't give you exact instructions.
