Hi guys,
It seems that I have somehow lost the link from OpenOffice v 4.1.1 under Windows Ver 8, to the English Database/Thesaurus.
All words are unrecognised.
Have tried ineptly to look at the Options/Writing Aids to no advance.
It was working yesterday but overnight the Computer was ‘Sleeping’ , as it does every night.
Any idea what might have gone wrong and more importantly how to put it right again
Many thanks
Iain

Thanks Dave for your response.
Yes, I did Restart Windows.
The problem was not cured.
Best wishes
Iain

You say "‘Sleeping’, as it does every night", which suggests that the
first thing to try is to restart Windows.
If that does not resolve the issue write back to this mailing list
users@openoffice.apache.org for alternative options.

Many thanks Rory,

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.
