This is another method to fix damaged spellcheck 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. -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
