I use LibreOffice Writer quite a bit. A very useful feature for me is it
flags mis-spelled words in what you type. Recently, that feature no
longer operates. I don't know what the feature is called, or how to turn
it back on. If you know the answers to these questions , please let me know.

Thank you.

It works for 7.3.72 on Ubuntu. I never use Writer but when I started it up
the spell checking was enabled and it flagged 'percieve' and offered a
correction.

Shift F7 - automatic spell checking?
