[Issue 127072] New: dictionary is installed but contains no words
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127072
Issue ID: 127072
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: dictionary is installed but contains no words
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.2
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows 10
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Critical
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: configuration
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: katherine_todd@msn.com
English uk is selected as the spellcheck language but ALL words are flagged as
unrecognised, there are no suggestions as the dictionary doesn't appear to
contain any words.
I have uninstalled and re-installed OpenOffice, I have also separately
downloaded and installed the dictionary add-on but this hasn't improved the
issue.
this has basically rendered the program unusable - I never had this issue
before windows 10 - is there a bug?
please advise (specifically in layman's terms)
many thanks!!!!!!

Hi Keith,
Ive followed the link that you provided to reset the user profile but I wasn't
able to - in fact it started to go wrong here: \Users\<user name>\AppData\
Roaming\ isn't located inside the AppData folder, i actually have this:
C:\Users\Default.migrated\AppData\Local?? and roaming is located here :
C:\Users\Default.migrated\Roaming - it doesn't contain Openoffice either.
I cant actually find Openoffice in there at all - I'm assuming that this could
have something to do with my problem?

The usual starting point for spellcheck problems is to delete or rename the
OpenOffice user profile. Doing this sorts out a very large proportion [read:
most] of OpenOffice stability problems. Details of how to do this are given in
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Handling_the_OpenOffice.org_User_Profile

To find the path to your profile do the following
Start OpenOffice
click tools->option
In the left pane of window that opens be sure that the entry OpenOffice is
expanded. If it isn't click the plus sign next to it.
Once it is expanded click paths
The right pane will show a list with the headings type path
The first entry should be AutoCorrect followed by a string.
EXAMPLE
AutoCorrect C:\Users\Keith McKenna\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\autocorr
That string is the path into the OpenOffice profile.
Now open Windows Explorer and navigate through the path until you find the
OpenOffice folder.
From there follow the steps in the original link to reset the profile.
If you are stilling having difficulties resetting the profile. A better place
to get help would be posting your question either the user mailing list at
mailto:users@openoffice.apache.org or the User Forum at
http://forum.openoffice.org/
