Thank you for an answer.

Hello,
Try Tools | Options | Language Settions | Writing Aids, select the
dictionary installed, click edit and ensure that the words you think
it should be spellchecking are actually in the dictionary. I hope
that's a good starting point.

In version 2.0.0 and above spell-checking works on the basis of the
language attribute of the text. It is possible that your text has the
language attribute set to a language for which you do not have an
active dictionary. In such cases no errors are found.
Not setting the proper language in the text is a common error.
As a test, select your entire document, set it to "Default" paragraph
style and select Format -> Default formatting. Press F11 to bring up
the Stylelist. Select the paragraph icon. Under that icon right-click
on "Default" and select "Modify...". In the dialog box that appears
select the "Font" tab and make sure the language setting is set to
"French (France)", that is if you have an active French (France)
dictionary.
If the setting was set to something else for which no dictionary was
available or active, then spell checking *should* fail.
I'm curious. Does the OOo version for each language automatically
include a spellchecker and make it actice for that particular language?
e.g., I use the English version of OOo hence this stuff was setup for
English (USA) by default when I installed the program. Wouldn't that be
the same for other language versions as well?

If you have a French (France) dictionary active, your text is all set
to "Default" paragraph style, and the "Default" paragraph style's
language attribute is set to French (France), then spell checking
should work.
