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.

I am a developer in BMC / People soft applications, 32 years and 4 months overall experience..
I shouldn't have to delete a profile and re-create it and go through that pain in order to get the most basic function working.
Open office need to fix this MAJOR problem. It was an issue for users in 4.1.1
and still in 4.1.2
However it really doesn't matter now, I simply opened my MS doc up online and MICROSOFT! allows you to edit and SPELL CHECK.
Lets be honest and truthful here, Open office is inferior, and by all accounts
the worst freeware I have ever installed or used.

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)

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.
