I had huge problems with spell checker.
This is how I resolved them.

First check that you have MySpell installed for the language you want
(English-UK in my case)

Then in OO go to Tools>Options>Language Settings>languages  and select your
chosen language for Locale Setting and Default language for documents.


Next goto Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids and make sure the
chosen language is specified for Available language modules and user defined
dictionary, then check the spellcheck options you want under options.


This worked for me (after many more or less random changes) I hope it will
work for you

Regards Pete
