Actually, I believe this *is* a bug. I've installed 9.0 final three times and each time spell checking in OpenOffice.org was broken until I manually installed a US English myspell (which newbies certainly wouldn't know to do). It doesn't seem likely that OO.o should have broken spell-checking intentionally. Maybe it's just a problem for US English installations. I'm not sure. The most serious aspect of this is that OO.o doesn't TELL the user that spelling is broken. I could set Autocheck to "yes" and it didn't complain, it just didn't do anything. I could manually order a spellcheck, and it didn't complain, it just didn't work (as if there were no spelling errors in the document, even if the document was all gibberish). Again, this definitely sounds like a bug to me. =) Regards, Rob
