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.

Loss of spellchecker can occur when the computer has been powered off too 
swiftly, before the internal housekeeping has been written to disk. After you 
have closed OpenOffice, use the formal computer power-off procedure to shut the 
computer down, then wait a few seconds (ten will probably be enough) to allow 
the internal buffers in the hard disk be flushed to the platters, before 
pulling the power plug or closing the laptop lid.
