If you are interested in getting spellcheck to work, this method cures most problems with an inactive spellcheck. Delete or rename your OpenOffice user profile. As you are using Windows do this by: Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar (not the search engine) and press Enter. Delete or Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice. This cures most spellcheck problems. If it's not working, the document language settings may need to be changed. OO must have access to a spelling dictionary for the language as specified in the document settings (look in the status bar below the main text area). This tutorial takes you through all that step by step: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=16512 If you wish to migrate to MS Word that is your decision. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
