SPELL CHECKER
Spell checker is not working. When I type everything is red underlined.
Standard.dic appears empty.
I have done the Help item related. Everything looks ok.

Hi Richard,
Run OpenOffice and open Tools>Extension Manager so then click 'Add' and directly point to the downloaded file. It should install the extension into OO.

Hi Rory, Thanks for the reply. I performed your suggestion. When I restarted OpenOffice I received a updated extensions available message. I downloaded dict-en-20220601_aoo.oxt.
Win10 placed file in Downloads folder. Looks like a new dict file or possibly an executable. What's next. BTW I'm no software expert, but retired network engineer 20 years ago. I'm still able to stumble around and get the job done. So in jest KISS. Thanks, Richard

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.
