Re: Spell check

[Hugo Costa]

 If you have updated recently the Open Office,  then there is the problem..  
There is an issue, a bug,  that appears , and they guide you to look all your 
computer to delete your personal Open Office settings, so to blank them and 
make a new configuration.  You can look for the issue  in the Forum, looking 
for spell check problem.The developers do not get to a real solution without 
that.

I guess it does not know which language to use. Check if this is correkt

If that looks fine and every word is underlined with red lines Then you 
should look to reset your profile. Actually you do not need to rename 
the complete profile. Only the section of the spellchecker, but I am 
currently unsure which folder it is. On windows all configurations are 
stored in the folder %appdata%\OpenOffice\4. Rename it, and OpenOffice 
resets.




I've downloaded the current version of open office.  Same problem.  
Can you help?


Please respond to this email address.  Been using this product for

As you have posted in an OpenOffice mailing list, I assume that when you write 
"Office" (normally a shorthand for MS Office) you mean OpenOffice Writer and my 
answer is targetted towards that.

If all words are underlined with red wiggly line, then most probably no 
language is set by default for your text.  If you have the Status Bar turned on 
(bottom bar of OpenOffice Window - /View /Status Bar if not showing) the 
language for the document at the cursor position is shown in  the middle of the 
Status Bar.  This will probably be "None".

This tutorial explains how to correct for an unselected or wrongly selected 
language.

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.

Re: Spell check issue

 Dear JP Austin:  if you has an older version and you upgraded, there ia a bug 
that appear with that.  For solving in that case , you must look in the forum 
al the steps you must do.  Deleting by hand some files, all your settings,  
creating new ones, etc.Because the upgrading   makes a mess with old  settings 
if you had before.Those that never had open office, goes well.

Do you UPGRADE the version of open office lately ? if yes, THAT is

There is no bug in the enquirer's declared behaviour. The spelling 
checking acts as it should for her. The problem with "scalp " is not 
reproducible: I'm guessing that the word may have a capital eye in 
place of the required lower case ell, which might be easy to miss in 
a sans serif font. The problem with "in" is similarly not 
reproducible. It would be useful to see a sample document showing the 
problems. And she needs to enable the thesaurus, or perhaps to 
recognise that misspelled or (in particular) long words may have no 
synonyms in the thesaurus.


Again, if you are seeing problems after upgrading, there is something 
wrong with how you are attempting this.

A quick solution is to delete or rename your OpenOffice User Profile.  
OpoenOffice, on next startup, will create a new User Profile, and the 
spellcheck should work after that. To do this:

Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste

Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a

This cures most spellcheck problems.

Loss of spellchecker can occur when the computer has been powered off too 
swiftly, before the internal housekeeping has been written to disk. After you 
have closed OpenOffice, use the formal computer power-off procedure to shut the 
computer down, then wait a few seconds (ten will probably be enough) to allow 
the internal buffers in the hard disk be flushed to the platters, before 
pulling the power plug or closing the laptop lid.

Start by renaming your existing OpenOffice user profile.

As 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.

The loss of spellcheck may be related to a crash of OpenOffice or
overhasty close down of OO or the computer, before the internal buffers
in the hard drive have flushed to disk, which can cause the OO User
Profile to be improperly (or not at all) written.

Try renaming your OO 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

This cures most spellcheck problems.

This happens usually because you power off your computer too hastily or close 
the laptop lid, before the internal buffers of the hard drive have flushed to 
the disks.

I assume you are using Windows.  If so, reset your OpenOffice User Profile.  
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste 
%appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename 
the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems

If you are not using Windows, resetting your OpenOffice User Profile is still 
the thing to do, but the methods will differ from above, varying with the 
operating system you are using.

Re: Spell check and forum support.

[David Robley]

Assuming you are using Windows and version 4.x of AOO:

]Rename your OpenOffice user profile. In Windows do this by: Close 
OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste 
%appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar (not the search 
engine) and press Enter.


( If you are using version 3.x of AOO, paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\3 instead)

File Explorer may also be called Windows Explorer. Rename the "user" 
folder, say to user.old. Start OpenOffice. When you restart OpenOffice, 
you should be prompted for name/initials on next startup of OO.

What language does AOo think that your document is in.

Odds are, you are writing your document in one language, and telling

Re: Spell check making me crazy

Hi -

The Apache OpenOffice project is being actively developed, versions 4.1.6 and 
4.2 are in progress. WE are not going to make major changes and try to keep 
everything stable. We have no company backing and completely depend on 
community volunteers.

We also provide support for forums.openoffice.org 
 where answers to questions about all OpenOffice 
variants including LibreOffice are answered.

LibreOffice developers have chosen not to contribute to Apache OpenOffice 
although they would be welcome to do so.

Regards,
Dave

This is to do with some choice made during installation or due to bad selection 
made for a previous version of OpenOffice on the computer.

On the non spellchecking computer do this:

As 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.

LibreOffice has other problems - try a .docx in it, but not for anything

The normal cure for this problem is to delete or rename your OpenOffice User 
Profile.  Details of the User Profile for various operating systems are given in

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=12426

If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File 
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address 
Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. 
Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems

It can sometimes happen that an installation produces a faulty user profile 
"out of the box". The above fix works in the vast majority of cases.

Unfortunately that only works in mail. The bug was never fixed in the

as NNTP rather than email. Ah well just have to get my memory working right.

This is such a common refrain that it really should be highlighted in the help

The loss of your spellcheck facility most probably occurred because you were 
over hasty in powering off the computer before the OO housekeeping was fully 
finished. To prevent it happening again, always power the computer down after 
using the correct shutdown procedure and wait for all disk activity to finish - 
a matter of a few extra seconds to be certain.

The usual starting point for spellcheck problems is to delete or rename
the OpenOffice user profile. Doing this sorts out a very large
proportion [read: most] of OpenOffice stability problems. For details on
how to do this see the profile how to at

The culprit is often in the registrymodifications.xcu file; however, this file 
keeps a running history of OpenOffice use and configuration, so no two copies 
of it are sufficiently similar to isolate the significant difference with any 
ease.  As such corruptions rarely seem to happen to developers and advanced 
users they have no incentive to waste their time sorting out such a problem.

It should not be time-consuming. Use the diff command in a terminal.
See man diff. It might be a good idea to copy the file somewhere (using .orig)
right after you install it and it works, so if you run into the problem, you
can then see what happened to screw it up.

Since you're a newbie, you haven't seen the advice,which appears about
every two or three months as to how to fix this Delete your profile.

One would think that with the constant problem this causes almost
everybody who uses that software, that the developers would fix it,
but for some reason they don't.

OO and LO have some features that are hard to find in competing products,
but they obviously have some features that can only be considered bugs.

Personally, I only use one of these close cousins when no other word-
processor will do the particular job. Maybe someday when it becomes more
user friendly. . . .

 The blue “Spelling and Grammar” button checks every single word, one at a 
 time, whether or not it was spelled incorrectly.
  
 And the red “Auto Spellcheck” button underlines every single word in red, 
 whether or not it was spelled incorrectly.
  
 I “uninstalled” OpenOffice 4.1, and then “reinstalled” it, but the same 
 problem persisted.
  
 Can you help me ?  Thank you, Michael J. M.
 

Delete or rename your OpenOffice User Profile.  Details are in

An un/re-install of OpenOffice does not affect the User Profile.

 Hello,
 My name is Terry and I am writing to ask for help. I am using Windows 7 and
 have just updated the open office 4.1.0 and the spell check is not working.
 I have searched the internet for answers and simply cannot find any
 solution.

 My main use is for writing poetry and I never had issues until now. I
 thoroughly enjoy using this application and hope to find a solution.

 If you require any further information I will be happy to help.

 I look forward to you reply.

 With thanks

My name is Craig Weidhuner, I've downloaded Open Office 4.1.0 for Windows
8.1 and have been using the writer.  The spell checker seemed to keep
setting the default language to English USA and every time I open a file I
have to keep reseting it to English Canada.  I can add new words to the
dictionary but every time I open the file it highlights those words as
spelling errors until I perform a spell check.  Once that is done, only
then does the program seem to recognize these words.  Also several times
the spell checker seems to freeze and says the program is not responding.
  Now it's suddenly telling me all my words are spelled incorrectly and when
I do a spell check it seems I have to add each word back into the
dictionary.  I've looked at the forums but all the posts either have the
same questions over and over again with no answer, or answers which make no
sense to me, I admit I'm not very tech savy and all these open file X and
rename this and that just confuse me.  Is there anyone who can help?  I
appreciate any help you can offer.

Regards

Craig
