Apache OpenOffice Issues

My new computer didn't come with Microsoft Office, and I refuse to pay every month for the rest of my life or a flat $300.00 fee to get it, so I use Apache OpenOffice instead.  It's a free, open source program that I love and have had very few problems with.  However, when problems do crop up, it's annoyingly hard to find a solution.

I just updated to Version 4.1.2 and the stupid thing started marking every single word as misspelled.  I've been fighting with it all day and just found the solution:

You need to shut down AOO, kill the soffice.* processes, delete the user profiles and restart. Done! The user profiles can be found at c:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org . I simply deleted the entire OpenOffice.org folder.

Finally!

There were other instructions that were much more convoluted.  The "xxxx" after Users\ is the name of the computer.

At least now I'm not wasting all my time rereading everything I type for errors.

Now to get my one remaining keyboard functioning...since I broke the other one...
