[Solved] Spell Checker doesn't work

Post by Dave the Dragon »

My spell checker doesn't work at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Open Office but it still doesn't work. I have downloaded the English (UK) Dictionary but I cannot add it to Open Office. I have read the posts and attempted to get to and change my user profile without success. Any ideas on the easiest way to do this please, I'm getting very frustrated with it.

To fix the spellcheck, try renaming your OpenOffice user profile. 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.
