Others have no problems with the (outdated) variant supplied on the SuSE 10.2 DVD, but for me it was just one hassle after another. SuSE have made a number of changes in their OOo variant. One of which is the removal of the dictionary wizard. Even if you decide against installing the "official" version of OOo the following may help: You can find details about obtaining dictionaries here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries For a tutorial on spell checking and language configuration see: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50862 Hope this helps.
