Start by renaming your OpenOffice 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 problem often arises from over-hasty power-off or hibernation of the computer, before OO's internal housekeeping is complete and the housekeeping files have been flushed to disk from the software/hardware write buffers. It is good practice to use the formal close down or hibernate procedures and wait a few extra seconds for all disk activity to cease before powering the computer off. -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
