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.

This problem often arises from over-hasty power-off or hibernation of the 
computer, before OO's internal housekeeping is complete and the housekeeping 
files have been flushed to disk from  the software/hardware write buffers.  It 
is good practice to use the formal close down or hibernate procedures and wait 
a few extra seconds for all disk activity to cease before powering the computer 
off.

New problem with Spell Check

[lar_timonen]

I have been using Open Office on this PC for over two years, with no problem, 
but about two weeks ago or so, suddenly ALL THE WORDS IN MY DOCUMENT ARE 
UNDERLINED IN RED.   The numbers  were not however.  After hitting “Ignore 
All”, some words are now not underlined, but most still are.  It’s like I lost 
the dictionary or something, but in Options it is checked for the “Standard, 
US”, so I am snowed.  Can you help me. Larry Timonen
