As others have noted, with regard to OpenOffice 4.x.x the answer is basically "Yes".
I am going to espouse heresy here. I have used OO about 4 years. When I started, it was a reasonable alternative to the Micro$loth product. Over that time period, IMHO OO has gone downhill. Too many bugs not fixed; too many problems ignored. (The user profile / dictionaries /. spell check being only the most common one.) Its a result of too few volunteer developers. I don't have those development skills, so I can't help with those issues. I am a tool user, not a tool builder. I think I have found a tool which suits my needs better, that being LibreOffice. I am in the process of running both suites in parallel and think that I will be eliminating OO sometime after the New Year. Libre Office is available at: www.libreoffice.org LibreOffice is the same price as OpenOffice, i.e. free. I have no economic or proprietary interest in either OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Just a fellow looking for a better tool.
