[Solved] Malfuntion of Auto Spell Check

Post by howellpayne »

Nearly all of my text is red underlined with Auto Spell Check on. How do I fix it? Windows 10, OpenOffice 4.1.4

Thanks,
Howell

Rename your OO user profile.

As your Forum .sig says you are using Windows s 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 almost all spellcheck problems.

Nearly all of my text is red underlined
If the resetting of the User profile will not help (described above), then you need check,
- if the paragraphs (or the paragraph styles) have a Language property,
- if the assigned specific language has language tool in your AOO.

Please, edit the initial post in the topic: add the word [Solved] at the beginning of the subject line - if your problem has been solved.
