Try the menu entry "File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries", follow the wizard through and allow the dictionary update (i.e.. uncheck/untick "no update"). Or take a look at the information linked to this page: http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/download_dictionary.html There is also some helpful info about language attributes here: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=137861 If you are going to use OOo for creating anything more than the occasional note I would recommend you read up on styles. Check out the guides at: http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals Hope this helps.
