Re: 2 questions
To add to the usefulness of the above, I have included the Paste Icon on the Toolbar. (The icon is on the drop down of visible buttons so just highlight it there*) The drop down arrow gives a number of options including Unformatted text. The same icon on the tool bar also helps when using Calc. If you do a lot of 'copy and paste' work this is very useful and time saving. (* I am not sure now if I had to add it as an extra icon to the Visible list or whether it was there on that list all the time. I have been using it for so long that I do not remember. Even if you have to add it as an extra icon on the tool bar it is well worth doing) Hope this helps some members of the list.

Spell check
I have tried every forum. I see others have this problem but cannot fix. My spellchecker underlines every word in red. Have tried to reinstall. Tried to change my user ID but the terms are to technical for me and I'm afraid to delete anything I'm not sure of. PLEASE HELP! I registered with your forum but it said I was too new to post anything.

What language & locale does Apache OpenOffice think that the documents are in? My guess is that you have not installed a spell checker for the language that Apache OpenOffice thinks that the document is written in. jonathon signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If you are using Windows do this by: Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

Re: open office 4 database Bugg?

I have definitely not entered any data incorrectly, this is so tedious. is there anything to be done ? or must I buy another database, if so which would be compatible with the data already entered? I don't know which database you are using, but the embedded database is not the best solution. Reason is not the database but because it's inside the OpenOffice file you loose everything when your odb file get corrupted. There are many free databases available I personally use MySQL not because it's the best but it's the one I'm familiar with. thanks in advance P.Marshall. PS if there is a paid version which works better I am more than happy to buy it . Running open office 4 on macbook pro with yosemite all java files updated to latest. Never pay if you can get it for free

The Paste button is instead in the Standard toolbar (and you should find it appears by default and does not need to be selected). I trust this helps.

Since you're a newbie, you haven't seen the advice,which appears about every two or three months as to how to fix this Delete your profile. One would think that with the constant problem this causes almost everybody who uses that software, that the developers would fix it, but for some reason they don't. OO and LO have some features that are hard to find in competing products, but they obviously have some "features" that can only be considered bugs. Personally, I only use one of these close cousins when no other word- processor will do the particular job. Maybe someday when it becomes more user friendly. . . . --doug - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
