Since there's not actually an 'aspell-en' package, pick from one of the following: myspell-en-gb - English_british dictionary for myspell myspell-en-us - English_american dictionary for myspell myspell-en-za - South African English dictionary for myspell myspell-en-au - English_australian dictionary for myspell Which probably would be myspell-en-au :) > > Then OpenOffice.org and click on Tools > Options > Language Settings > > Languages.
