Hi
Chris Addington is not the only one to have lost his spellcheck with this
request to change the dictionary down load
I lost mine about 2 days earlier but did not think much of it at the time.
Now trying to do a 300000 word thesis so will need to get the spellchecker
back into play.
Would appreciate if I could get the same email regarding this problem.
Regards
Richard Beeston

hi uninstalled again
installed older version openoffice 4.1.1 - STILL NO SPELLCHECK
*????????????????????????????????????????????*
i appreciate that openoffice are providing community software but that
does NOT justify invading peoples homes/machines with faulty/untested
software/updates
please advise how to fix this problem

I have, in response to a private email, sent you instructions on what to do.
Note that un/re-installing OpenOffice does not (repeat _NOT_) affect the OO
user profile for reasons I have not time to expound. The usual cure is to
delete the OO User Profile according to the instructions in the email I have
sent you
