Open office spell checker?

For open office which I use because I deleted Microsoft word on accident and the program I use most (open office writer) won’t spell check, none of the programs do but I need writer the most! So when I go to spell check it says “continue checking at the beginning of the document” and if I say yes It says that it’s done and If I press no it closes. And I did a test try and spelled words wrong on purpose and tried it and it said I spelled it right. What can I do?
