I often use the Spelling check under Tools, but I find that I have
redo it each time I open my files. There appears to be no memory of

enter the word "Waitrose" it is queried. I live in Glamorgan and
pay my rates to Glamorgan council, "Glamorgan" is continually
queried. The list is quite long, I do not mind entering my
preferences once, but having the same words underlined in red each
time I open the file is annoying. This did not happen with the
previous edition of Open Office.
Why isn't there an English English?
David Pullen
David,
Indeed, there is an "English English". You may want to check the
Language Options under :
Tools --> Options --> Languages and under "Default Language for
Documents", set the language to "English (UK)".
This should set the language for ALL your documents. On the other
hand, should you want to change the document for just ONE specific
document, perhaps you may want to look at the settings on a per Style
basis.
I trust this has been of some use to you.

Two things to add to Pradeeps'answer
If you look at the bottom part of the writer screen you will find
which version of English (yes there are many available in OOo) you are
using. If it shows English (UK) then you are using British English.
If you want certain words added to your dictionary then when you spell
check them choose to add them to your dictionary. You may choose to set
up your own personal dictionary (mine is called Rob) or add it to the
dictionary you use.
I hope that helps
Rob
