Spellcheck problem

Dear Sirs

I have a problem with spellcheck in that when spellcheck is selected all words, correctly spelled or not, have the red wavy line under them. Try as I might I cannot pinpoint the reason for this. The English Uk and standard dictionaries are selected. Could you please help.

Thanks and regards

The usual cure for spellcheck problems is to delete or rename your OpenOffice user profile. If 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 and press Enter. Delete or Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.
