- The problem was that the suggestions of the spellcheck were in another
language to the default one.
- The solution was to select the whole text and to apply the Spanish
language to the Format -> Character -> Font Font tab.
Thank you for your help.

Dear all
- I have 4 languages to spell (French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese)
- I am writing a text in Spanish.
- Al the options are selected with Spanish.
- The correct Spanish words have no problem.
- But, when there is a mistake in a Spanish word, Writer selects the
English dictionary.
- So the list of words that it offers is in English.
- So I have to change the language at each time.
- But next time, in the next error, it repeats the same problem.
Who could help me?

I haven't seen your problem, but the following may help you check that you
have set things up right for each paragraph and piece of text.
Languages in OpenOffice
To obtain the relevant dictionaries, go to
File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries
and download the ones you want.
To set the default language for your installation, go to
Tools -> Options -> Language Settings / Languages
and set the default for all your documents. If there is a
dictionary for your selection, there will be a tick mark against it.
It is important to remember that language is an attribute of the text
of a document, and can be set differently in different parts of
the same document. This allows foreign language quotes to be separately
checked against the appropriate dictionary.
To set the default for a document that is different from the
default setting for all other documents, when you have opened
the document (or started a new one) go to the Default style
and change it there. F11 (or Format -> Styles and Formatting) brings up
the style list. Right click on Default (or the root style for your document)
go to Modify -> Font tab where you can set the language for this style
and will be carried down to other styles derived from it unless otherwise
changed.
To change the language for a piece of text, highlight the text and go to
Format -> Character -> Font tab (or right click -> Character -> Font)
where you can set the language for just that portion of text.
