As far as I know OpenOffice will not work with any Microsoft spell checkers. Assuming you are American, or want to use American English, the OpenOffice you downloaded should be already equipped to check documents in that language. If you want something different, you need to install one or more of the many available dictionaries, for different languages, by doing "File>Wizards>Install new dictionaries".

You can set OO to check all documents in a single language, or different documents in different (single) languages or individual documents in several languages depending on the "style" in which the word/paragraph is written. For example, my installation is set up to check in British English.

Please read the Help about spell checking.

Also useful are the chapters on Templates and Styles at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html
