Spell Check Failure
Hello,
I have been using OpenOffice Writer and Presentation on a regular basis for the past two months without a problem. I used it earlier today without a problem.
I opened the program tonight, and every word I typed was marked as misspelled. I tried clicking spell check, and none of the words were recognised in the dictionary. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling OpenOffice, but the same issue kept happening.
PLEASE help. I am in the middle of a graduate program, and I have final exam papers I need to type in the next week.
Thank you,
Allison

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.
