"Compound" is I think the best translation of sammansatt. There is a new 
spelling checker engine -- written by a hungarian -- which is meant to be 
much better with compound words. There is a module available for OOo -- 
google "hunspell" -- but I have not dared install or test it myself. 

Swedish is a sufficiently regular language that spell-checking rules should 
be quite easy to formalise. 

My understanding of hunspell is that if "skomakare", "låda", and "handtag" 
are all in the dictionary, as they should be, it ought to recognise the 
compound word.
