Using Ubuntu 11.10 and LO 3.4.3

I'm no idiot or technophobe. I can research stuff on the internet.

This should not be hard... spell checking on LO.

It seems that in the default install of Ubuntu no spell checking is installed. Using synaptic package manager I have searched for LO dictionaries but found none.

Living in Australia, I would like to use the Australian dictionary that I previously used.

Logical thing is to press F1. There seems to be no internal help system any more. You just get connected to an online wiki which is pretty useless.

Searched in Google using as many different search terms and combinations as possible. Two options emerge

1. Go to Forms- Wizards- Install Dictionaries. Helpful screenshots in Windows-- but the wizard does not exist in the Ubuntu version of LO

2. A LO extensions page- it covers a range of different extensions but not too many dictionaries, although I do note that Afrikaans ands Dutch speakers are well catered for as are my friends in New Zealand... but no AU dictionary.

I am so desperate now for any spell checker that I would even settle for a US English one.

Would someone please tell me how to find and install the spell checking facility?

Thank you
