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.
