There’s a complicated way of fixing this (in some cases…) by editing the folder permissions under C:\Program Files but there’s an easier way too. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory… So it might happen that you see the following error message:Įrror 1303.
#LIBREOFFICE DMG WINDOWS 8.1#
Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are a bit anal-retentive when it comes to folder permissions – even if you’re on an admin account. Now, as for the installation file, you get that here. The Gaelic spellchecker already comes with the program but if it’s not there for some strange reason, you can grab it on the LibreOffice Extension Site.
#LIBREOFFICE DMG PC#
You may have to restart the PC at this stage. If everything is still in English, go to User Interface » Locale Settings and choose Scottish Gaelic as the Default Language.
#LIBREOFFICE DMG INSTALL#

It’s not hard, you just have to know a thing or two. There’s only one installation file – for all languages (… developers… in a world of their own) and you have to make sure you set it up right to get Gaelic. If there’s one thing that is somewhat annoying it’s the installation process.

On the contrary, LibreOffice is extremely good at opening and saving a whole host of formats: Switching to LibreOffice (or simply installing it alongside Microsoft Office) does not mean you won’t be able to handle or save Microsoft Office formats any longer (like. Since then, development of LibreOffice has “turned to lightspeed”. LibreOffice split off when various debates with Oracle (who had the rights to OpenOffice) came to a head and most of the volunteer community decided that Oracle was not developing OpenOffice as much or as fast as they ought to. If you remember OpenOffice, you’ll find using LibreOffice easy, it’s based on the same code. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux systems and comes with a Gaelic spellchecker.
