Hi i am matt i am using the latest version open office 2.3 (downloaded it yesterday) I was hoping this new version would solve my spell checking problems. It has not. I wrote a brief couple of lines in writer tonight with obvious spelling errors and the automatic spelling tool (red line ) didn't pick them up nor did spell check when activated. So i tried it on an old document sure enough red lines ond spell checker worked. why is this? why work on an old document but not one i am creating? 1 Other thing, i spent at least an hour trying to tell open office and my computer that i wish to have australian or uk english spelling. the computer accepts it (running Vista) but not open office. it wants to keep putting Z's in everything as though i am american.
any advice would be much appreciated matt
