Hi ... I had been using Open Office (4.1.6) this morning normally and it would
indicate to me when I made a spelling mistake. Also if I hadn’t corrected my
mistakes as I was typing I could use the check spelling option at the end and
it would highlight each mistake for me to correct. I came back to the same
document a couple or so hours later and not only this document but all my
documents are now underlined in squiggle red lines indicating every word is a
spelling mistake. It also now happens when I type a new document (see
attached). Has something gone wrong with the program and is there something I
can do about it? If not how can it be fixed so I can use it the way I had been?
For the record I am using Windows 10 on a Lenovo ideapad 330S. Please can you
help.
Thank you, Bill
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
choice. Start OpenOffice.
This cures most spellcheck problems.
This loss of spellchecking happens usually because the computer has been
powered off too hastily or the laptop lid closed before the internal buffers of
the hard drive have flushed to the disks.
