Check that you have the right version of English installed at the right places. Here is a brief description. 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. (BTW, have you tried Thunderbird for e-mail? It has spell checking built-in. You can get it free from http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ ) -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
