Spell Check Issues

I am not sure if standard.dic has been installed.  Every word in my document is underlined in red.  How can I determine if my dictionary has been installed and is working correctly.  I am using Windows 10 and have installed OpenOffice version 4.1.7

Start by renaming your existing OpenOffice user profile.

As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open
File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File
Explorer (sometimes called Windows Explorer) Address Bar and press
Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. Start
OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.

The loss of spellcheck may be related to a crash of OpenOffice or
overhasty close down of OO or the computer, before the internal buffers
in the hard drive have flushed to disk, which can cause the OO User
Profile to be improperly (or not at all) written.
