I use Word 2003 on a desktop and Open Office on the laptop, saving in .doc format so I can go back and forth between machines, retrieving the latest version of any document from DropBox, without a hitch.
Until now. I hadn't updated Open Office since I installed it a few years ago, despite its pleas, but in a weak moment, I updated to the newest version. Not only did I lose the toolbar I had just the way I liked it, but now the program's spell check flags every single word. Every time.
I've closed the program and re-opened it. Rebooted the computer. Ensure it's set for US English. I don't know what else to try.
I know, I know, people will suggest Libre Office or springing for MS Word, but until this problem, I was okay with Open Office. Is there anything I can do, or will I be going to the desktop every time I want to spell check?
Maryn, all fluttery and helpless
