Problems with OpenOffice
I have, all of a sudden, been having problems with OpenOffice. My auto correct and spell check are messed up and for some reason, when I want to correct something or change something that I’m typing, instead of just adding, it overwrites what I have. I can’t make it stop. Please help.

Press the Insert key on the keyboard or click in the box on Status bar (bottom bar of OO window) where it says "OVR"; this should change to "INS". Pressing Insert key should also cause this to toggle between "INS" and "OVR"
To try to get your spellcheck working, start by by deleting or renaming your OpenOffice user profile. As you are using Windows do this by:
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar (not the search engine) and press Enter. Delete or Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.
This cures most spellcheck problems.
