The OOo (OpenOffice.org) spell check function has to accommodate many languages and requires a little configuration to ensure it works correctly for your language/dialect. Use the "File -> Wizards -> Install New Dictionaries" menu option, or see: 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 While saving your files in MS closed propriety format is irrelevant to the OOo spell check function, I would recommend that you save in the OOo default OpenDocument ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard file format. If a file should become corrupt, you have a greater chance of recovering data from the OpenDocument file format, than you do with the closed MS format. If at any time you need to have any of those files in another format, it is a simple task to open them and save/export/email as required. Hope this helps.
