Hello, We are not 'support', but a users' list where people that use OpenOffice.org try to help each other. It is always helpful if you mention which version of OOo you use, and on what kind of computer and OS. >From OOo 3 onwards, dictionaries are extensions. Some come with the OOo package you installed, others can be downloaded and installed from the OOo website around here somewhere: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/taxonomy/term/253 Dictionaries are linked to language, and language is linked to character. If you don't see any red lines under misspelled words, maybe no language was chosen. See Format>Character>Font where you find a Language droplist. Languages marked with abcV have the dictionary extension installed. You can include the language definition in a paragraph style, or use the status bar to determine the language of a (part of) text you blocked.
