Problem
Hi!
Can you help me please. Whilst my version of Apache Open Office was working
OK recent;y spellcheck insists on checking every and I mean every word -
its seems to think every word is spelt wrong. I have installed the latest
OS and language pack but no joy. If I can't resolve this I am going to have
to ditch it and go back to MS Office.
Please help me!!!!!
Thanks
Tony

If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. Start OpenOffice.
This cures most spellcheck problems
It can sometimes happen that an installation produces a faulty user profile "out of the box". The above fix works in the vast majority of cases.
