If you want the Australian dictionary download the options from this page: http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau You can also use the "File -> Wizards -> Install New Dictionaries" menu option, or for other English variations or languages dictionaries 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 Hope this helps.
