OpenOffice.org has a flaw in its Linux version that you may want to

work, however, on Linux. I am using Ubuntu with version 2.3 of OOo. I
deliberately spell words wrong, and they are not underlined (which the
function is turned on), and the spell-checker tells me my document is
complete without any problems. I deliberately spelled "being" as "bieng"
and it did not underline it. I ran spell-checker, and it told me my
document was perfect. This needs addressed quickly, for even the most
gifted at the English language can still make a mistake or two in their
typing or writing, and if the program doesn't identify it, it will go
unnoticed.
I use Ubuntu 7.10 on one of my computers. Instead of the Ubuntu
version, I downloaded and installed the file contains the deb's from the
OOo web site. I do not have problems with the spellchecker.

Can I make one suggestion as I often have to switch between UK and US
English. Could I suggest that you do a "select all" on the document you
are working on and look at the Format character options. Does the
language box contain the name of the language that you are entering? Is
there a tick alongside it indicating that the language specified can be
spell-checked?
