Start by renaming your OpenOffice 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.


Loss of spellchecker can occur when the computer has been powered off too 
swiftly, before the internal housekeeping has been written to disk. After you 
have closed OpenOffice, use the formal computer power-off procedure to shut the 
computer down, then wait a few seconds (ten will probably be enough) to allow 
the internal buffers in the hard disk be flushed to the platters, before 
pulling the power plug or closing the laptop lid.

Open Office spellcheck malfunction

[Maartje]

Dear Open Office,

I've started using your software several years ago and mainly use it for 
text-documents. It always worked perfectly, thanks (!)
Unfortunately the spellcheck all of a sudden stopped working properly 
several weeks ago - it now marks all words as 'incorrect' and is stuck 
on German (I can not change it to Dutch).
I've reinstalled Open Office several times but that does not make a 
difference. I work with Windows 10 (since one year).

Could you please help?

Many thanks / kind regards,
Maartje

Glad it helped. I would suggest that you subscribe to the Announce
mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to:
mailto:announce-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org and replying to the
reply you will receive. This is a very low traffic list that will give
you notifications of new releases of the program. It is usually a good
idea to update as there are bug fixes and possibly security fixes to the
code.

OK, I’ve upgraded the program and I think the problem has gone. Thanks.

David;

The most likely cause of this is that there was a power surge that
interrupted the save process or you that you closed the lid on a laptop
before the save process was complete thus leaving the software in an
unknown state. Please try the following:

Option-click the Go menu
Choose Library from the menu to open the folder in the Finder.
Click on the folder Saved Application State
Delete the file org.OpenOffice.script.savedState

Please also tell us what version of AOO you are using. This sounds
suspiciously like a known problem in the 3.4.x and early 4.0.x versions
that was finally fixed in AOO 4.1.0.

Re: Malfunction

[zahra a]

hello.
this error says that when you opened openoffice in the last time, it
crashed or terminated the process.
this maybe become happen when your elictricity has problem.
your computer turned of unexpectedly and any failure maybe occured
because of immediate and unusual loss of power for your pc etc.
you can repair openoffice and see the result.
if it gives error again, you can completely uninstall and reinstall it again.
hope that help, God bless you!

Malfunction

[David Brazier]

Hello

I have an error message in a box on screen that says

   "The last time you opened OpenOffice.org, it unexpectedly quit while 
reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"

Below the message there are two buttons. Neither button produces any result or 
change. The box remains in the middle of the screen.

At the same time, I notice that the cut and paste function has also stopped 
working.

This all happened when I restarted my computer.
