There you can set the default language for documents (which will be used when no language is set in the text). But any character of your text can have its own language setting (think e.g. of translators who write bilinugal texts), so you should make sure, that the language setting of the character you want to check really corresponds with the spellchecker language. Even on paragraph level you can have a certain language setting which overrides the default setting but is overridden in turn by the setting on character level. (At least that's how I understand it, though I did not check it for a while.)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spellcheck question
Hi :) I think on Windnows and GnuLinux (using a Gnome or other non-KDE desktop environment) it's Tools and then either Languages nad/or Options. The Options pop-up has a LOT of settings that are worth exploring. Mac and perhaps KDE too seem to be a bit different.

[libreoffice-users] Spellcheck question
The spell check feature seems to stop at every word. Even simple words such as ball, hit, the, etc. and suggests changes. How can I set it so that it only stops at miss spelled words. Thanks for your help.
