The English language version of OOo comes with an English(US) dictionary already present. If you want English(Canada) or French(Canada) then you will have to install it. A brief summary of the features here: 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. > > On 12-Sep-06, at 5:44 AM, Andy Pepperdine wrote: > > On Sunday 10 September 2006 23:17, Bruce Mercer wrote: > >> Spellcheck not working on new download 2.20.3 MacOSX, but appears to > >> be working in mail.
