The # issue seems caused usually by overhasty close down of the computer, after space has been allocated in the zip archive but before the data has been written to that space, which on inspection is usually 00 (zeroes). The spellchecker problem seems highly user related. In almost all cases it is cured by deletion or renaming of the OO user profile. Why it sometimes occurs after installation or upgrade of OO I do not know - I would guess that this may be caused by "finger trouble" - the user using some non-standard method of installation. Instances of faulty spellchecking on a previously good installation seem to arise from partial corruption of registrymodiifications.xcu, which may be attributed to over hasty close down of the computer before the software/hardware write buffers have flushed to disk (remember that modern hard disk drives also have internal data buffering). Most of these instances of file corruption/faulty spellcheck occur on Windows. Long time computer users, who honour the correct power off procedures, do not seem to have these problems. A major requirement is that the original file should be backed up at the start of an editing session, so that in the event of a file corruption, only the current edit changes are lost.
