Spellchecker not working.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been using your wonderful product for over 5 years now and have been extremely pleased with it, until yesterday. I started to write a letter and typed in a word that, when reviewing it, was obviously mis-spelt, but there was no red line under it telling me so. I tried another word which was another obvious mistake and it missed that too. The AutoSpellcheck button is on my toolbar, and is highlighted as "on", and when I click on the Spelling and Grammar button I am told that everything is O.K. I am using English (UK) and have spent the whole weekend trying to fix the problem (forums, questions etc) without success. Can you help me please?
Yours sincerely,
Gary James McIver.
P.S. I even tried uninstalling version 4.1.0. and reverting to version 4.0.0. but that did not work either.

Uninstalling/reinstalling does not affect the User Profile, which is where the error resides. Delete or rename your OpenOffice User Profile and start up OpenOffice again. This cures most spellcheck problems. Details on the User Profile are given at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426
If that doesn't work, come back to the Forum at

for further help.
