You’re correct for the first half of your statement. For the second half you’re incorrect, under Windows use the back slash. > > Chuck > >> On Sat, Jan 18, 2020 at 3:34 AM Rory O'Farrell wrote: >> >> On Fri, 17 Jan 2020 17:20:35 -0500 (EST) >> MICHAEL SHIELDS Owner wrote: >> >>> I hate to sound Illiterate, but am I supposed to enter the address with >> percentage points as well.

Re: American Spell Check problem
I, too, am not a regular Windows user, but I believe you're supposed to use forward slashes ("/") instead of back slashes ("\").

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.

Re: American Spell Check problem
I hate to sound Illiterate, but am I supposed to enter the address with percentage points as well. I assume the Windows explorer bar (address bar) is at the top of the screen and not at the address bar a few inches under? I hate when it comes to computer terms, etc. - Original Message - From: "Rory O'Farrell" To: "users" Cc: "kingbman" Sent: Friday, January 17, 2020 1:31:29 PM Subject: Re: American Spell Check problem On Fri, 17 Jan 2020 14:57:02 -0500 (EST) MICHAEL SHIELDS Owner wrote: > My Windows 10 did an update, and may have disabled my Spell Check.

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.
