Perhaps this is a little late, but why haven't you created your
own dictionaries? (user-defined dictionaries) That would solve the
spelling problem. You can do this at Tools > Options > Language
Settings > Writing Aids. Just make sure that any dictionaries you
create have a check in front of them in the User-defined dictionaries
list.
Have you looked in the User's Guides that are available? What
about the Writer's Guide created by OOoAuthors. All are available for
download at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/.
