You need to set th language of the words ( "Select" -> "All" then "Format" -> "Character" -> Font -> English. After this makle sure that you have the right dictionary installed.

Take a look at these infos from previous threads: (1) Tutorial for Spell check and Language configuration http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50862 (2) <http://www.forum-openoffice.org/forum/ftopic2831.html>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. If you set up your styles for a language in an empty document and then save it as a template (File -> Templates -> Save), then you can select the appropriate one to start a new document with File -> New -> Templates and Documents -- Andy Pepperdine (3)**additional remark: you may need to close/reopen Quickstart before changes will work if your system uses QS...** -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
