Knowledge base FAQ said:
My spellchecker does not seem to work?
Check your language settings for your document and whether a
spellchecker is active for that language. Format|Character and the
"Font" tab check "Language", there should be a tick mark beside the
relevant language.
But there is no box to tick! beside English (Australia)
Thank in advance for your help.

Hi Shoji
It sounds as though you do not have the en_AU dictionary installed. In
"Tools-Options-Language Settings-Languages-Western" do you have "English
(Australian) chosen, and is there a little ABC over a tick mark against
it? If not, you do not have the dictionary, which you can get by
"File-Wizards-Install new dictionaries from the web"
Or you can get the Australian one from
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau/
You also need to set styles for the two languages.
Take a look also at this cutting from previous threads:
(1)Tutorial for Spell check and Language configuration
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50862
(2) 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
