grammar check

My LibreOffice in Win7 has grammar checks, I just now installed LO in Ubuntu 10.10, but there seems to be no grammar check function. Must I perform an additional step?

Thanks in advance, Rick

That's what I noticed too. We have to make sure that

1. Grammar check is enabled
Choose *Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids *
TICK Check grammar as you type

2. Enable rules
Choose *Tools - Extension Manager*
Choose *Tools - Options - Language Settings - English sentence checking*
TICK what you like the checker to check.

As you can see, the rules are very bare. If you want to a more serious
grammar checker, install LanguageTool (www.languagetool.org). It's a free
extension. That's what I use.
