The OOo (OpenOffice.org) spell check function has to accommodate many
languages and requires a little configuration to ensure it works
correctly for your language/dialect.

Depending upon the OS (Operating System - eg. Linux, Mac, Solaris,
Windows, etc.) you have, use the "File -> Wizards -> Install New
Dictionaries" menu option, or for other English variations or languages
dictionaries see: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries

For a tutorial on spell checking and language configuration see:

Hope this helps.
