Thanks from a Newbie

Post by ArtificerJon »

I was getting the dreaded 'All words misspelt' indication on Writer an being pretty new to Open Office I was feeling lost however this forum (which I only just found) came up trumps in guiding me on how to do a user reset and now the spell checker is working properly - very many thanks to those who gave the answers. I am a confirmed convert from that other office package (even more so now !) and will soon be dumping that other operating system in favor of Ubuntu.
