The following link from the users forum links to how to reset your users profile, the most common source of this problem. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=89052 The most common cause of this problem is caused by a too hasty shutdown or closing of top of laptop before allowing OpenOffice to finish closing out files (general housekeeping).

Auto Spell Check not working on laptop, but does on desktop
Using Win10 Home, up to date. I mostly use my desktop computer to write a text file using AOO, but am on the road now and had to use my laptop (Lenovo U430) to write a one-page text article for someone. I was puzzled to find that the auto spell check did not work, as it does on my desktop at home. I checked settings, looked for solutions (mostly found from 2012 - Win7) and tried many to no avail. Am using simple US-English, the default language. The ABC underscore button is highlighted. In Tools \ Language "For Selection" USA-English is always checked, but in "for Paragraph" and "for All Text", USA-English is not checked and checking them manually does not "stick". Starting a new File\Text Document does not improve the situation. When I get home I'll compare settings in the two computers, but in the meantime, do you have any suggestions to get auto spell check to work? --David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

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

My auto spellcheck is no longer working. It either underlines in red every word, correct or not, or ignores misspelled words. It's very frustrating. Please send CLEAR instructions on how to fix this problem. Thank you, Frustrated User
