For the last few months I have been using Open Office 4.1.1, as I lost MS Word etc when my old hard drive waas replaced. I was pleased to find Open Office Writer can produce perfectly good .doc documents. All was well, until the weekend. No idea what caused it to change, but....
On Saturday I tried opening a .doc file, only to find that every single word was underlined with a red wiggly line as if it was incorrectly spelt. A bit more investigation showed that only single capital letters or numbers were not underlined this way.
Today, I have download dict-en.oxt, open the Writer and gone to Tools ==> Extension Manager ==>Add and tried adding it, but it still does the same. Tried Restart - nothing. Tried uninstalling Open Office and then Reinstalling it. It STILL does the same.
Arggh!
I would not care if I could get the spellchecker to find spelling mistakes, but it thinks everything (except capital letters and numbers) is wrong.
Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
