Hi,

OP is not registered to the list so added the cc. I also "move" this to the 
ooo-user list where it belongs more than the dev list. Please don't reply to the ooo-dev 
list.

Haseler, in addition to the links given by Rory below, you should remove the NZ 
version of the dictionary extension. Then restart AOO.

Hi There

I have been using openoffice for some years now, but for a longtime the 
spelling check does not work, I down loaded the openoffice programme a couple 
of times.
Then i tried your help page, not much of a help, you have to become member and 
sign in? did it twice one time on wiki (what is that?) and ones for openoffice, 
but I could not post anything as I did not use it enough????
Anyway I am getting a little bit cranky.. I m not a computer expert and if you 
go through your website, you have to be a computer expert to understand it.
So please help me out here
I downloaded the latest version and I use windows vista, just give me some 
clear, easy to follow, step by step advise (just like in the dummies books )
regards
Haseler

There are two tutorials on the User Forum which may be of assistance

Spell check and language configurations at
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=67

Troubleshooting Spell check at
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=16512

If your spell check does not work promptly, reinstallation of OpenOffice does 
not help.  You need to delete your User Profile, as that holds configuration 
information which a reinstall does _not_ replace.  Details on how to do this 
are at
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426.

OpenOffice then creates a new default profile on next startup. If your 
spellcheck is not then working, you need to print out the tutorials and work 
your way sytematically through them, checking off each item as you adjust or 
confirm its setting.  Spellcheck works with minimal adjustment and 
configuration; when it doesn't it is frequently due to user misconfiguration.
