Ubuntu
openoffice.org package

We recently changed to open office from word, and spell check does not work. Can I enable it as a user or do I have to wait for my administrator to return from vacation?

Asked by Chuck

It runs when you click on it, but does not catch any mistakes.

1. Open OpenOffice writer and the document you wish to edit.
2. Click Tools
3. Click Spellcheck

(this is the normal way of doing it)

To install dictionaries:

go to File > Wizards > Install New Dictionaries

Then to spell check:

Open your document - select all of the text and then Format > Character > then select the language of the new dictionary you installed

For spell check issues refer this link:
