typing fault

[arthur]

Please can you help me?  

  I recently downloaded openoffice. at first everything was fine but when I 
came to use it for a second time I was not able to type commas and full stops. 
When i type a full stop I get a tiny dash which appears on the line. A comma 
appears as two tiny dashes, one on the line and another below the line. Like a 
minute equals sign.
if I cannot punctuate my typing then I cannot use it at all. is there any way 
to correct this? If not can I uninstall and re-install again?

Hope you can help because I am really stuck.

  thank you.

I assume you are running Windows and would wish for UK settings.

Check the setting in OpenOffice /Tools /options /OpenOffice /Language settings  
There are two main selections:
Languages settings should read 
   User Interface: English (UK)
   Localke setting: English (UK)
   Decimal Separator key: checkbox "Same as locale setting"
   Default languages for Documents: English (UK)
Leave all else unchecked

Writing aids should read
   Hunspell Spellchecker checked
   Linhyphen Hyphenator checked
   OpenOffice.org New Thesaurus checked

User-defined dictionaries
   standard [all] checked
   soffice [all] checked

Options
   Check spelling as you type checked
   Check grammar as you type checked

Press OK, rthen exit OpenOffice and the Quickstarter.  Easiest to restart 
computer.

Now see if all is well.  If not, it is a problem with your keyboard settings in 
Windows /Control Panel
