Nice to hear your problem is solved. Note that when installing or
removing extensions there is no need to reboot the computer, simply
restart OpenOffice (for this, you have to close the Quickstarter, on
some Windows system it is a little hidden on the system tray).

No, there are no consequences (I told to disable the extensions instead
of removing them because removing shared extensions require sometimes
administrative privileges that the current user may not have).

You're welcome. Thanks for using Apache OpenOffice.

I assume you are using the English version of Apache OpenOffice.

Dictionaries come packaged as extensions, and unfortunately there is
a bug with the dictionary extensions (different extension using the same
configuration name), so you will have to remove/disable some of them,
until we contact the extensions authors and ask them to fix the issue.

Go to the menu "Tools" - "Extension Manager..." and disable/remove all
the English dictionaries (Canadian, etc), leaving only the one that says

"English spelling and hyphenation dictionaries and thesaurus" 2010.03.16

This should fix the bug.

In case you have any question, please send a mail to
ooo-users@incubator.apache.org
