Spell Check Problems
Hello,
I’d like to open by saying that we love open office! We have been using it for years, and it is very user friendly and works great for our small office. However, yesterday I started having a problem with my spell check. It has EVERYTHING underlined as if it is spelled wrong. I thought it was probably just a glitch, so waited until I re-started my computer this morning, but it was still doing it. I actually un-installed Open Office, and re-installed it; but this did not correct the problem either. I’ve even updated my language pack, but that is not working either. Do you have any advice about how to correct this error?
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Sincerely,
Brenda Sinton

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.
Note that reinstalling OpenOffice does not generate a new User Profile. It picks up the existing one, which is where most OO problems reside, due to som misconfiguration.
