In OO2 if you go to the files -> wizards -> Install new dictionaries ... item, you will get a macro that installs the dictionaries/spell check for you.

If you have alien and use .deb packages, I'd suggest you follow the instructions here: http://installation.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=609 Download the latest build 1.9.m118 and follow the directions up to and including # /opt/openoffice1.9.51/program/pkgchk --shared (you get 'pkgchk done.') The remaining stuff seems out of date. This is what I do and it's always worked for me. Cheers, Jonathan -- Please don't cc: your posting to my personal address. Thank you.
