Recent dictionary update.

After downloading the dictionary update, I now have no spell check and no thesaurus. I have used OpenOffice for years. What has happened?

You should start by deleting or renaming 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. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.
