[Solved] AOO 4.1.5 Spellchecker Problem

[rojohol]

Running AOO 4.1.5 under Windows10. I recenty updated from AOO 4.1.2 primarily to get the Auto-spellchecker to work. In preparation for this update, I installed the latest versions of JRE (jre8u162 windows i586 and x64) in the corresponding locations of D:\Program Files (x86) and D:\Program Files. AOO 4.1.5 also isinstalled in D:\Program Files (x86).

AOO 4.1.5 ("Writer" & "Calc", with all sub-features) is functioning properly except for Auto-spellchecker in "Writer". When that function is enabled in the tool bar, EVERY word is underlined with a fine squiggly line, correctly spelled or otherwise!! I noticed the "Add New Features" icon (bottom-left corner of the AOO 4.1.5 opening screen) takes you to a listing of available Extensions that includes "Spellcheckers". Will adding a "Spellchecker Extension" fix my problem?? If so, and I download it, do I install it in the same location that has the AOO 4.1.5 (D:\Progrm Files (x86)\Apache OpenOffice 4 ?

I'm "grasping at straws" here. The Auto-Spellchecker didn't work in AOO 4.1.2 (even with previous versions of JRE) and now, I still have the same problem with AOO 4.1.5! I will be greatfull for any suggestions!

PS: "Solved" by quiting!

Search the forum for "Spellchecker", using the search function at top right of forum window; this is one of the most commonly asked (and not researched) questions on the forum.

Thanks, David, but I've gotten discouraged enough after chasing around on this forum reading suggestions ending with "this should work" or, "this may work" etc. And, I understand this has been going on for months. I had enough trouble just getting Apache 4.1.5 (replacing 4.1.2 & others dating back to OO.org 3.0 in 2009) to install where I wanted it, only to find the spellcheck problem followed along. If the "script" really works, perhaps the developers will incorporate it one day in an "official", numbered update.
