Red spelling lines

[Bill Coleman]

Hi ... I had been using Open Office (4.1.6) this morning normally and it would 
indicate to me when I made a spelling mistake.  Also if I hadn’t corrected my 
mistakes as I was typing I could use the check spelling option at the end and 
it would highlight each mistake for me to correct.  I came back to the same 
document a couple or so hours later and not only this document but all my 
documents are now underlined in squiggle red lines indicating every word is a 
spelling mistake.  It also now happens when I type a new document (see 
attached).  Has something gone wrong with the program and is there something I 
can do about it?  If not how can it be fixed so I can use it the way I had been?

For the record I am using Windows 10 on a Lenovo ideapad 330S.  Please can you 
help.

Thank you, Bill

Try renaming your OO user profile.

If 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.

This loss of spellchecking happens usually because the computer has been 
powered off too hastily or the laptop lid closed before the internal buffers of 
the hard drive have flushed to the disks.

Looking deep in my magic glass ball I see . :-)

It's written just below the line "Try renaming your OO user profile."
