have down loaded open office Oo 4.1.3. and the language pack but cannot get the spell checker to work am using pc with windows 10
would be grateful for any help or solutions

Start by 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.

This cures most spellcheck problems.

If that doesn't resolve your problem see [Troubleshooting] Spell check in OpenOffice. and [Tutorial] Spell check and Language configuration
