  OK - thanks, Mark!

  I think what I'll do is work with grammar check 'off' until the
document is complete, then switch it on for a final grammar check.

  It doesn't bother me much that the occasional word or phrase is
marked - that's not intrusive - and I would welcome it finding it
more subtle grammatical erors.
  It's the marking of all the hand-made indents that I cannot
tolerate. It makes too  much of a visual mess of the document.

   My use of Writer is for a few general 'home' letters and such - not
a plethora of large formal documents - and I only have one style.
  I do not wish to get into the complication of 'a style for this and
a style for that', etc.

In that sense I have no problem with OpenOffice Writer. 
   It's bossy LibreOffice that is upsetting my apple cart!

Newcomers to xxxOffice will probably also wonder what the hell all
those wiggly lines are for. Why not leave grammar check 'off' by
default; then the more professional users can use it as they wish?
