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.

Das Problem deutet auf ein defektes Benutzerverzeichnis. Dieses kann man 
gefahrlos umbenennen. Wenn OpenOffice es dadurch nicht mehr finden kann, wird 
ein neues angelegt.
Durch das Umbenennen des "alten" Verzeichnisses bleiben alle darin 
gespeicherten Dateien zugänglich.

Wie man das Benutzerverzeichnis umbenennt ist hier beschrieben:

Re: Auto Spell-Check

[Robin Lord]

Thanks for that but I have checked all the language settings and have never 
been able to find anything unusual in the affected file which was originally 
created in OO and has been edited with LO, I agree it is a brute force 
technique but in the end it seemed easier than solving the basic problem, the 
amount of formatting involved was very small. It was in a file first created 
nearly 20 years ago and which I update very occasionally it has been bugging me 
for years and I finally got round to my solution only this week

That's almost certainly a brute-force technique for a problem which 
could have been solved more simply - and without damaging the 
existing formatting, all of which you would lose using your method.


What's likely here is that your text was either marked as being in 
some language (or language variant) for which you did not have a 
spelling dictionary installed or marked "None (Do not check 
spelling)". You can resolve the problem simply by correcting the 
language setting appropriately. Your journey into and out of Notepad, 
which does not recognise attributes such as language, will have 
removed the setting, and the text will have assumed the default 
language of your new document.


Note that this problem can be caused by pasting material in from 
another source, where the language property (or the "None" setting) 
may be carried over. You can avoid this by using Edit | Paste 
Special.. (or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste and choosing 
"Unformatted text" in the Paste Special dialogue. That way, the 
pasted material inherits the language property of surrounding text.


I trust this helps.

Does the spell checker work with other files, i have had a single file that did 
not spell check.
If it does not work on all files then just Google it and there are answers that 
work.
If it is just the one file the only solution i could find was to cut and paste 
all the text into notepad and grin there cut and paste it back into a new

It's not just a case of pressing buttons.  You need to verify that the precise 
Language dialect is installed, and that dialect is selected for the text being 
entered.  The dialect of the entered language is shown on the middle of the 
Status Bar at OO Window bottom.  Turn off the capital letters etc on /Tools 
/Autocorrect options.

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.

For sometime now, whenever I use Office to write anything, each word is

Please tell me how to return to normal.

The problem has already been solved by my suggestion of deleting or renaminf 
the OpenOffice User Profile.  Reinstallation of OpenOffice in general does not 
solve a Spellcheck problem, a reinstallation picks up the existing faulty 
OpenOffice User Profile, wherein lies the faulty information.

It is likely that windows clobbered your dictionary.
Your best bet is to go to openoffice.org

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.

Spell Check dictionary

[Nick Boukidis]

Hello,
I've used apache open office for a few years now awhile back I developed and 
issue with spell checking.  In every application I open it underlines ever word 
I type as misspelled.  When I try to use the spell checker it just goes through 
every word 1 by 1 as misspelled but offers no suggestions on how it should be 
spelled.  I think the dictionary is missing.  I just recently downloaded the 
latest version of apache open office (version 4.1.11) but that didn't help.
What should I do?

Re: Spell check issue

[Hugo Costa]

 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 
the problem. Because there is a bug every time you change your version.


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 
%appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the 
"user" folder (user.old is good to use). Start OpenOffice.

It is perhaps worth restating, for the benefit of readers generally, 
that this is probably not good advice. Upgrades to OpenOffice 
(actually new versions) can contain necessary security fixes. For 
example, the release notes for the current version, 4.1.10, include 
"Apache OpenOffice 4.1.10 is a Security release incorporating 
important bug fixes. All users of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.9 or earlier 
are *strongly advised to upgrade*.


If you have any difficulty with installing and using a new version, 
solve that problem separately or seek help to do so.

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.

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.

Re: Spell check and Update

[David Robley]

For your spelling check problem please see 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6=89050


The update problem is a known issue; version 4.1.7 is the latest version 
of Apache OpenOffice. Just go to http://www.openoffice.org/download/ if 
you need to download a later version than you have. For extensions, 
you'll have to check the individual extension pages for updates.


Since you are not subscribed to this list you may not see all the 
replies to your query. To subscribe to Apache OpenOffice mailing lists 
go to http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html


As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this reply to you as well as to the

You’re correct for the first half of your statement.
For the second half you’re incorrect, under Windows use the back slash.

Enter exactly as I set it out.  Not having used Windows in any detail for over 
ten years I cannot navigate around it for you, but if you click on the icon of 
a disk drive, I think you should enter that line in the address line of the 
Window that then opens.

To fix this, rename your 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.

Now restart OpenOffice.

Start OpenOffice.--

Start by renaming your existing OpenOffice user profile.

As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open

Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. Start

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.

Auto Spell Check not working on laptop, but does on desktop

[David & Louise Koch]

Using Win10 Home, up to date.

I mostly use my desktop computer to write a text file using AOO, but am 
on the road now and had to use my laptop (Lenovo U430) to write a 
one-page text article for someone.  I was puzzled to find that the auto 
spell check did not work, as it does on my desktop at home.


I checked settings, looked for solutions (mostly found from 2012 - Win7) 
and tried many to no avail.  Am using simple US-English, the default 
language.  The ABC underscore button is highlighted. In Tools \ Language 
"For Selection" USA-English is always checked, but in "for Paragraph" 
and "for All Text", USA-English is not checked and checking them 
manually does not "stick".  Starting a new File\Text Document does not 
improve the situation.


When I get home I'll compare settings in the two computers, but in the 
meantime, do you have any suggestions to get auto spell check to work?

ENGLISH SPELL CHECK & ENGLISH GRAMMER CHECK

[Lynn Larner]

Hi there,

I have been looking through extensions to replace the ABC Spelling and
Grammar and the ABC Auto Spell Check on the 'Tools' menu when I use
Writer.  Neither is working properly.  Spelling and Grammar highlights
every word in succession.  Auto check underlines every word of the
selection in red.  There appears to be no words registered in either
application so nothing to check with.  This has happened in the last
month.  Prior to that, both applications have worked for a number of years.

Having spent some considerable time looking through extensions under a
variety of headings, I still can't find a basic English spell and grammar
check.

Please will you advise what I should do?

Many thanks,

Lynn Larner

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.

Help with spell check

[Bruce Pierson]

I have used AOO for a while and only had this problem once before.  I am
using Win 10 as an OS.  The spell check stopped working and I forget the
solution to this problem.  If you could point me in the right direction I'd
appreciate.

Thanks

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.

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 are you writing your document in?
What language does AOo think that your document is in.

Odds are, you are writing your document in one language, and telling
LibO that it is written in a different language.

Not really, considering that you are using a different application, with 
a different spell checker, to create this message.

Not an OO function.  Depends on your platform.  For Mac, hold down the n and 
select 1 for the tilde: ñ

Not sure what the equivalent KBD options are for Windoze, but there’s certainly 
something!

Re: Spell check making me crazy

[Dave Fisher]

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
