First you need to ensure the relevant dictionary is installed. 
Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages shows which dictionaries are 
installed. There is a box labelled "Default language for documents". 
This must show the language you want *and* the language name *must* have 
a tick and a little "abc" in front of it. If the tick and "abc" are not 
there then the dictionary for that language is not installed. In this 
case, go to File>Wizards>"Install new dictionaries" and choose the 
dictionary you need. Once it has been installed the spell checker should 
work. Go back and check that the tick and "abc" now shows against the 
Default language for documents.


If you still have problems, come back here with exact details of what 
you did and what happened, particularly the details of any error 
messages you got.

Probably not.  The most likely scenario is that you have the default 
language set to English (Canada) or perhaps even French (Canada), but 
you have not installed the relevant dictionary.  The default 
OpenOffice package comes bundled with some dictionaries, but neither 
of the Canadian ones are included.  If there is no dictionary, 
OpenOffice simply doesn't find anything to complain about and says 
everything's OK!


Go to File | Wizards > | Install new dictionaries... and follow the 
instructions to download and install what you need.


If this is not the problem, you may have some settings not 
appropriately set.  If so, ask for further advice if necessary.
