[Solved] Wavy line under misspelling lost
[Solved] Wavy line under misspelling lost
Since I changed from Vista to Windows 10, I no longer get the red wavy underline under misspellings. I used to get these automatically. How can I get this back? Siarach.

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.

Re: Wavy line under misspelling lost
Thanks for this I have done as suggested, but I am still not getting my wavy lines, but I am also getting next to no misspellings. Is it the case that my misspellings are corrected automatically? I think that the problem may be with my limited understanding of how things are supposed to work. What do the two Icons on the menu bar stand for, and how do you use them? Siarach

Spellings are not corrected automatically. If renaming the OO user profile didn't help, you need to work carefully through [Tutorial] Spell check and Language configuration

Have you toggled the spell icon?

Toggling icon does not help, How can I get access to the tutorial mentioned. Siarach

Or see that one first: [Troubleshooting] Spell check in OpenOffice.
