Open Office Writer Problems

[Joe Stewart]

Hi,
I have used Open Office 4.1.1 for a long time without any problems. However it 
is misbehaving on two fronts.
1. The spell check is not checking misspelled words but is checking every word 
and not suggesting any solutions. 
2. When I type the word th e the auto correct changes the word to to.
Any suggestions.
