You need to delete your User Profile, as that holds configuration information which a reinstall does _not_ replace. Details on how to do this are at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426. OpenOffice then creates a new default profile on next startup. If your spellcheck is not then working, you need to print out the tutorials and work your way sytematically through them, checking off each item as you adjust or confirm its setting. Spellcheck works with minimal adjustment and configuration; when it doesn't it is frequently due to user misconfiguration. -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]>
