Yes, there is.
o Set OpenOffice to check by default in your preferred
language. That will take care of text (Writer) documents.
o Open a new spreadsheet.
o Click in the top left corner, where the row and column headers
meet, in order to select the entire sheet.
o Go to Format | Cells... | Font | Language (or right-click | Format
Cells... | Font | Language) and select [None] from the drop-down list.
o Repeat for Sheet2 and Sheet3 if desired.
o Go to File | Templates > | Save..., give the template a name, and
save it somewhere - probably in My Templates.
o Go to File | Templates > | Organize..., browse to and select the

This template will now be used when you create a new spreadsheet
(Calc) document, with the language set everywhere to None and
therefore no spelling checking.
Related to the above, is there a way to enable or disable spell
check on a per-document basis, and have that spell check status be
saved with the document file?
Yes. For text (Writer) documents, go to Tools | Language > | For all
Text > | None (Do not check spelling). For spreadsheets, use Format
| Cells... as above.
I trust this helps.
