Hi There,
I asked that question before. Not many people were forthcoming with suggestions. It seems like the spellchecker in Mandrake9.0 is corrupted. There is no possible way that I know to get it working. Redhat8.0's OpenOffice spellchecker had the same problem, but running the repair tool fixed this up. Mandrake's repair tool does not fix the problem. Just off topic, the Mandrake guys may have done this on purpose (as a ploy) to put you onto StarOffice (i.e. buy the PowerPack).
I actually e-mailed the openoffice mailing list as well and their suggestion was to blow away the Mandrake version, and grab the 'official' version from the openoffice.org site. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Can any one suggest a method of getting OO Spell Checker in Mandrake 9.0
working.
I have looked around without finding information, except at
www.openoffice.org from whence I downloaded
'OOodi-static-0.55-0.i386.rpm'. However I simply cannot get it to run!
I expect this has come up some where before, if so please let me know.
With thanks in advance of your kind reading.
Malcolm Candlish.
