Open Office Writer UTTER , UTTER Rubbish
Hello
Can someone please pass this comment on to the relevant incompetent developer who created openoffice writer..
It has the a really obvious problem with the program...
IT HAS NO BLOODY SPELL CHECK!!!!!
Seriously I ask you this, what IDIOT created a doc writer without the most fundamental function????
Even when installing 4.1.2 it says its selected , however NO, it just doesn't work..
I will be pulling my donations and putting money into Microsoft, where things DO work!! albeit I will have to pay.

Apache OpenOffice does indeed have a perfectly functional
spell checker. And, of course, we are aware of the problems
for some users/systems with the spell checker on upgrades.
We have recently had a patch submitted and tested to correct
this problem. See the following BZ entry:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126762
Hopefully, when 4.2 is released, the problem will be solved.

Darren,
OpenOffice has a long, long history. Not as long as you or me or many others here have been programming. I think you might be surprised at the number of decades of some of the generous contributors to AOO.
If you have the relevant C++ experience, the source code and build instructions are available.
Patches welcome!

Dave

Sorry to hear you're having so much of a problem with Open Office. I've
never had any myself, so the only advice I can offer is: Don't let the
door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Darren,
OpenOffice has a long, long history. Not as long as you or me or many others here have been programming. I think you might be surprised at the number of decades of some of the generous contributors to AOO.
If you have the relevant C++ experience, the source code and build instructions are available.
Patches welcome!

Darren,
even a software developer (which you claim to be) may occasionally have
to repair a software installation, and that can happen with MS products
too. not just with OpenOffice. Deleting the Openoffice folder in AppData
doesn't take long and isn't a pain. It's done in 10 seconds. And don't
tell me you haven't got 10 seconds to spare! And: You DO NOT need to
re-create the profile because it's done automatically when you re-start
OpenOffice after you deleted or renamed the old user profile. You know,
most people DO try to solve problems with their software (and usually
succeed) instead of periodically insulting the developers for, as you
allege, "inferior" software. You did this in 2014, you did it again in
2015, and you are doing it once again right now in 2016. I wonder about
your actual purpose. Anyway, no one is forcing you to use OpenOffice.

Of course this is a big problem, but OpenOffice is no longer actively
developed. You should switch to LibreOffice, they fixed that extensions bug
2 years ago.

OpenOffice is still being developed. Quit spreading this FUD. How much is LibreOffice paying
you to continue writing this crap.

Hello Darren,
of course it's got a spell check. And the spell check works. I've been
using OpenOffice for years and I never had that problem. If something on
OpenOffice doesn't work, delete the folder "OpenOffice" in
[user]/appdata/roaming and restart OpenOffice. No need to be rude, by
the way. (and I've been a computer user for 28 years and I can't count
how many times I've seen users blaming the software for their own
mistake when something didn't work as desired)

The OP's an 'UTTER , UTTER moron'. It's too difficult for imbeciles like
him/her to simply look at the 'preferences' and adjust things as they
need/want. That kind of stupidity and laziness needs to test the warning label
on a plastic bag.

If you set it up correctly you would find that spellcheck works. If you are interested in getting spellcheck to work, this method cures most problems with an inactive spellcheck.
Delete or rename your OpenOffice user profile. As 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 (not the search engine) and press Enter. Delete or Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.
This cures most spellcheck problems.
If it's not working, the document language settings may need to be changed. OO must have access to a spelling dictionary for the language as specified in the document settings (look in the status bar below the main text area).
