Often this can be caused if the quickstarter is on. Turn it off, make
the dictionary installations, close Open Office, restart Open Office.
The dictionaries should be as you set them.
If the quickstarter was not the problem, then someone else will have to
help you.
I copied this to OP as I do not know if they are subscribed.

Hi
I have just upgraded to version OpenOffice2.2 which I am running on a
PC under Windows XP Home and on a laptop under XP Professional.
The only English language version I Could Find fro download was the
US-english version. Now despite setting the default language to
UK-english (and NOT ticking the "For the current document only" box)
every time I shut down and restart OpenOffice it defaults to
US-english. How do I stop this?
Also although I have used the "Install new dictionaries" wizard in an
attempt to install French (France) Dictionaries that language remains
un-ticked in the language list.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
