Reset your OpenOffice Uszer Profile.  Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. 
Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer 
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems

I have, in response to a private email, sent you instructions on what to do.  
Note that un/re-installing OpenOffice does not (repeat _NOT_) affect the OO 
user profile for reasons I have not time to expound.  The usual cure is to 
delete the OO User Profile according to the instructions in the email I have 
sent you

That's not a global setting; it merely shows you the active

language set for your misspelled words. To see the language there, 
you need to select the word or region of text before examining the 
indication in the Status Bar. Alternatively, if all your text is 
the same language, you could select it all and then set the language.


o Have you restarted OpenOffice since the "update"? Have you 
restarted your system?


o Right-click in the text and go to Character... | Font | Language. 
Is "English (UK)" preceded by the icon of a blue tick with the text 
"ABC"? If not, you do not have a dictionary correctly installed.


o If you have the English (UK) version of OpenOffice, you shouldn't

This spellcheck failure was most likely due to the incorrect language 
being specified in the downloaded document - for example one of the 
variants of English other than your OpenOffice had selected.  If it 
happens again, note the language specified in the Status Bar (at 
screen bottom).  If this does not match your installed language, use 
/Tools /Language /For all text to change the document language 
variant to that you normally use.  This will most probably sort out 
the problem without need to reinstall OpenOffice.
