Apache OpenOffice does indeed have a perfectly functional
spell checker. And, of course, we are aware of the problems
for some users/systems with the spell checker on upgrades.
We have recently had a patch submitted and tested to correct
this problem. See the following BZ entry:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126762
Hopefully, when 4.2 is released, the problem will be solved.

Can someone please pass this comment on to the
relevant incompetent developer who created
openoffice writer..
It has the a really obvious problem with the
program...
IT HAS NO BLOODY SPELL CHECK!
Seriously I ask you this, what IDIOT created a doc
writer without the most fundamental function
Even when installing 4.1.2 it says its selected ,
however NO, it just doesn't work..
I will be pulling my donations and putting money
into Microsoft, where things DO work!! albeit I
will have to pay.
