You should start by deleting or renaming your OpenOffice user profile. 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.

This cures most spellcheck problems.

Note that reinstalling OpenOffice does not generate a new User Profile.  It 
picks up the existing one, which is where most  OO problems reside, due to some 
misconfiguration.
