Which english dictionary are you trying to use? Have you set the default for OpenOffice.org to that dictionary? * From the Menu "Tools - Options" - "Language Setting - Languages" - "Default languages for documents" Is it installed? * In "Default languages for documents" it will have a blue tick beside it if it is installed. Is spell checking turned on? * On my version on the Standard toolbar there is an icon with a wavy underline which toggles the "Auto Spell Check" function. With this disabled the wavy red underlines do not appear. Try writing a full sentence with known errors in it. "hte color of the colour was grey or wus ut gray?" Then test with the manually started spell checker "Tool - Spelling Check" or tap key [F7]. Existing documents that may have been previously written in a different version of english will need to be changed to a version you have installed.
