Spell Checking
Spell Checking
I'm having multiple problems with spellcheck after installing Version 4.1.4
I) I tried "%appdata%\OpenOffice\4" without any luck.
2) I tried a manual reset of user, but there was no "Roaming" subfolder (I have done this before successfully).
3) I tried uninstalling OpenOffice completely and got an error message "Please exit OpenOffice 4.1.4 and the OpenOffice 4.1.4 Quickstarter etc." No OpenOffice items were open and Quickstarter was not checked on.
4) I even tried uninstalling in safe mode unsuccessfully.
Any suggestions to fix this would be most appreciated.

Try out programs like REVO uninstaller or any you can find on the internet, there are some.
Also try the portable version of Apache OpenOffice; it is still 4.1.3 version. Or X-Apache Office, also 4.1.3 version. Or try out Libreoffice.

You can't reset the user profile if soffice is running. Open the Task Manager and close all soffice processes.

Thanks for the soffice suggestion. For some reason the "Roaming" subfolder was (and remains) hidden. By searching for soffice, the subfolder showed up and that allowed me to change the user (again). Anyone have any idea why this is such a recurring problem?

Re: Spell Checking
For Windows 10, the Roaming folder can be opened by clicking the Start button and typing %appdata% or by typing %appdata% in the File Explorer Address Bar and pressing Enter. It is not hidden from either method. It is only hidden when trying to navigate to it by clicking on folders in the File Explorer window. %appdata% is the environment variable that Windows interprets as C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming.

Re: Spell Checking
I hate to add to the crowd struggling with Spellcheck, but I would very much appreciate help getting it to work.
Platform: Windows 10, OO 4.1.4
Symptom:
Spellcheck has never worked; when run, it immediately reports no errors on pages with errors
Trouble shooting efforts:
Upgraded to 4.1.4
Renamed the User directory twice
Downloaded and installed English language extension file. When run it a second time, it reports that the files already exist (enabled)
Present settings:
When Spellcheck is run, the "Text Language" box is empty; when the "Spellcheck is complete" OK button is clicked, the pop-up disappears so it's not possible to see if any languages are listed in the "Text Language" drop-down.
At Options/Language/, everything set to default
At Options/Language/Writing Aids, the "Available language modules" box is empty.; "User defined dictionaries" all checked
Largest file in the folders under C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\extensions is 135 bytes

Re: Spell Checking
When you renamed the User directory and restarted OpenOffice, were you prompted for your Name/initials?

Re: Spell Checking
I suggest - and this is a wild guess - installing a language module over your existing installation, even if the same language. You can download the language module from http://www.openoffice.org/download/, making the version selection using the dropdowns and pressing the right-hand button below them.

Re: Spell Checking
Does this only happen with new documents that you start by right clicking in the Windows desktop and selecting `OpenDocument - Text`? That method is flawed, for some reason the created documents doesn't have a proper language assigned. So, better start new documents in LibreOffice.

Re: Spell Checking
Or start them via Text document from the Start Center, which offers links to all the OO applications.
