Open Office 3.41

[K BAILEY <ke...@btinternet.com>]

Hi,
 
I have recently updated open office to the latest version & since doing so a problem with spell check has occurred in that after typing a document or letter & clicking on spell check, it states almost every word is incorrect but makes no suggestions for corrections.
 
Have other people experienced this problem & is there a solution.
 
Thank you
 
Kind Regards

Hi Kevin;

    If you upgraded to version 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 directly from version 
3.3.x or less than the problem is most likely in the profile and is 
covered in the release notes. You can find them here: 
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 manage the user profile differently 
than previous versions. The old user profile is automatically converted 
so that users can keep their extensions and settings. In a minority of 
cases, especially with highly customized profiles (many extensions or 
customizations) the conversion doesn't succeed. Common symptoms are: 
frequent application crashes, problems with dictionaries or thesaurus, 
OpenOffice starting and crashing after a few seconds. To solve this, 
just reset/rename your user profile as explained in the official 
OpenOffice forum. 
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12426

    If this does not clear the problem I would suggest that you post and 
inquiry to the support mailing list at users@openoffice.apache.org or at 
the community forum at http://forum.openoffice.org explaining that you 
have tried the advice in the release notes with no success.

Hi Kevin,
   I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. There is a tutorial on
the forum about this topic.
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=16512

There are a few different possible causes and it is probably easier
for you to look there and work through the steps of the tutorial
rather than someone trying to explain it all here. You don't need to
register to look at the tutorial. If your problem isn't solved, I
encourage you to register on the forum and ask there or try the user
mailing list.
Best regards,
Francis
