Re: Open Office Writer UTTER , UTTER Rubbish (or not)
Apache OpenOffice does indeed have a perfectly functional spell checker. And, of course, we are aware of the problems for some users/systems with the spell checker on upgrades. We have recently had a patch submitted and tested to correct this problem. See the following BZ entry: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126762 Hopefully, when 4.2 is released, the problem will be solved.

Re: Open Office Writer UTTER , UTTER Rubbish (or not)
Darren, OpenOffice has a long, long history. Not as long as you or me or many others here have been programming. I think you might be surprised at the number of decades of some of the generous contributors to AOO. If you have the relevant C++ experience, the source code and build instructions are available.

Hello Darren, of course it's got a spell check. And the spell check works. I've been using OpenOffice for years and I never had that problem.

Re: Open Office Writer UTTER , UTTER Rubbish (or not)
Darren, even a software developer (which you claim to be) may occasionally have to repair a software installation, and that can happen with MS products too. not just with OpenOffice. Deleting the Openoffice folder in AppData doesn't take long and isn't a pain. It's done in 10 seconds. And don't tell me you haven't got 10 seconds to spare! And: You DO NOT need to re-create the profile because it's done automatically when you re-start OpenOffice after you deleted or renamed the old user profile. You know, most people DO try to solve problems with their software (and usually succeed) instead of periodically insulting the developers for, as you allege, "inferior" software. You did this in 2014, you did it again in 2015, and you are doing it once again right now in 2016. I wonder about your actual purpose. Anyway, no one is forcing you to use OpenOffice.
