Spell Check dictionary

[Nick Boukidis <od...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Hello,
I've used apache open office for a few years now awhile back I developed and issue with spell checking.  In every application I open it underlines ever word I type as misspelled.  When I try to use the spell checker it just goes through every word 1 by 1 as misspelled but offers no suggestions on how it should be spelled.  I think the dictionary is missing.  I just recently downloaded the latest version of apache open office (version 4.1.11) but that didn't help.
What should I do?

Start by renaming your OpenOffice user profile.

If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer (sometimes called Windows Explorer)
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.
