New release - problems
I went to open a new document.
I saw the note there was new version available, so I downloaded it.
First thing I noticed was the spell check is still not working, let’s fix it before people stop using Writer.
Next thing I noticed was a small change to the formula generator (math calc?) in Writer.
The symbol for product seems to have changed. It should look like the large capital letter pi, P.
Also the ‘from’ and ‘to’ blocks should be centered above and below the P.
This is relatively minor, but thought you should know.

Sorry I was unclear. I meant that you should rename (or delete) the user
folder that contains the profile. This will trigger the creation of a new
folder. OpenOffice has to be shut down to rename the folder.

Francis
--------------------------------------------------------------
Deleting the profile fixed the
spell check problem (thank you).
Did not fix Pi for me though.
I use Word to convert file to PDF and it fixed that problem.
For the product symbol, I wonder if it is taken from a Windows font that has changed with windows 10.
I checked, when I use %PI it shoes Pi correctly
I noticed that the extra blank space before and after formulas was removed (thank you).
However, the formulas are offset below the line level, making it look odd.
Hum, ‘parameterization’ is missing from the dictionary – I’ll live

Hi Patricia,
My fonts are set just as yours are but your odt file looks normal when I
open it, not at all like your bmp. When I click on the Pi in the formula
editor it is centered both vertically and horizontally in the dotted box.
That was all on Windows 7. I also looked at a similar formula in Linux and
had no problem. The fonts there are Liberation Serif, Liberation Sans and
DejaVu Sans Mono. If no one has a suggestion here in the next several
hours, I'll open a thread on the user forum to see if anyone there has an
idea.
Francis
------------------------------------------------------------------
I did not see anywhere in profile to change spell check options.
If it makes a difference, I am on Windows 10 now.
All my formula fonts point to Times New Roman.
I put in spelling errors on purpose and clicked the Spelling and grammar icon – no errors found.

I am seeing similar problems with the product formula symbol. Exported
as PDF, it looks fine. Viewed in Writer, the capital Pi lacks serifs,
making it look very strange. When I click on it in the formula editor,
it is at the bottom left of a dotted box, and the limits are aligned
relative to the box. Not WYSIWYG.
The fonts are:
Variables: Times New roman, Italic
Functions, Numbers, Text, and Serif: Times New Roman
Sans: Arial
Fixed: Courier New
I have uploaded the files to http://www.patriciashanahan.com/OpenOffice.
product.bmp is a screen shot of the formula editor. product.odt is the
actual file. product.pdf is the PDF export.

I haven't had any problem with the spell check in the latest version. I
suggest you reset your user profile. There is a tutorial on the English
forum:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426
I also did a quick check of the product symbol in Math and I didn't see any
problem. What font are you using for the formula. You can see that under
the menu Format -> Fonts when the formula editor is active.
