Auto Spell Check not working on laptop, but does on desktop
Using Win10 Home, up to date.
I mostly use my desktop computer to write a text file using AOO, but am
on the road now and had to use my laptop (Lenovo U430) to write a
one-page text article for someone. I was puzzled to find that the auto
spell check did not work, as it does on my desktop at home.
I checked settings, looked for solutions (mostly found from 2012 - Win7)
and tried many to no avail. Am using simple US-English, the default
language. The ABC underscore button is highlighted. In Tools \ Language
"For Selection" USA-English is always checked, but in "for Paragraph"
and "for All Text", USA-English is not checked and checking them
manually does not "stick". Starting a new File\Text Document does not
improve the situation.
When I get home I'll compare settings in the two computers, but in the
meantime, do you have any suggestions to get auto spell check to work?

The most common cause of this problem is caused by a too hasty shutdown or closing of top of laptop before allowing OpenOffice to finish closing out files (general housekeeping).
