Hi Mark,

Recently my word processing documents have started to open with virtually
every word underlined in red as if they are all misspelled. Has my
dictionary or spell checker become un-attached somehow? I tried to cure by
a re load of 3.4.1 but no luck.    Thanks   I am using windows

The installation of the dictionary is likely broken.

Do you have installed any other extensions?
If not, then it might help to delete the cache. It is in your OpenOffice-user folder. Do you know where it is? In that folder you will find OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache. Close OpenOffice.org (close quickstarter too, if you use it), then delete all content in that folder. It will be rebuild with the next start of OpenOffice.org. Because the English dictionary is bundled, it should be available after restart.

If you have installed other extensions, it might be necessary to first uninstall them, then clean the cache as described above, and then reinstall your extensions.

Simple reloading or repairing OpenOffice.org does not solve problems in the user settings, because the user settings are preserved. You can test whether the problem is in the user settings or in the installation itself: Rename your OpenOffice.org-user folder, so that the application does not find it. It will generate a new, virgin one with the next start. If the error is gone then, you know, that something is broken in your user settings.

Kind regards
Regina
