The AppData folder was hidden, so I did a search (Cortana) for "show hidden files and folders". I looked for C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4 but couldn't find it. If I pressed it would say that the word couldn't be found. I turned on auto spellcheck and it would underline incorrect spelling, but I renamed the User folder and it fixed the "dictionary not working" problem. So I copied from the PC (which was working) all the files and folders from the Open Office program folder as well as the files in the local apps 'user' folder and over wrote the same folders on the laptop. It either refused to load, or didn't fix the spelling problem. However when i tried this with my laptop it didn't work. Everything then worked a treat in the original settings. The result surprised me as upon loading Open Office, the last page of the install process loaded and copied my user profile from version 3. I tried this and it didn't work, so I reversed the process.
