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. This happens usually because you power off your computer too hastily or close the laptop lid, before the internal buffers of the hard drive have flushed to the disks. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The spell checker seemed to keep setting the default language to English USA and every time I open a file I have to keep reseting it to English Canada. I can add new words to the dictionary but every time I open the file it highlights those words as spelling errors until I perform a spell check. Once that is done, only then does the program seem to recognize these words. Also several times the spell checker seems to freeze and says the program is not responding. Now it's suddenly telling me all my words are spelled incorrectly and when I do a spell check it seems I have to add each word back into the dictionary. I've looked at the forums but all the posts either have the same questions over and over again with no answer, or answers which make no sense to me, I admit I'm not very tech savy and all these open file X and rename this and that just confuse me. Is there anyone who can help? I appreciate any help you can offer.
