A friend sent me her university assignment to read and I noticed that

surprised to see so many red underlines, and not surprised at all to
see she was right and the spell checker was wrong.
She sent me a Word doc so my first thought was that somehow the M$
Word doc had reset my spell checker to US-English, but when I went to
Tools > Options > Writing aids and Tools > Options > Language
settings everything was set up for Australian English.
So, why is my Australian English spell checker behaving like and
American English spell checker?
I would appreciate your advice and comment.
Many thanks, James
Every document has its own setting for language. My copy of OO.o is set
to use Canadian English for spell checking but I often receive documents
written in US English.
The menu at the bottom of the OO.o window has a box that indicates the
language used for that document. To change to a different language for
spellchecking, highlight all the text in the document, then right click
on that box indicating the language of the document and select the
language you want.
