I am using OpenOffice.org 2.0 with Windows XP. I did a spell check on a document in Spanish with all the language settings for Spanish except in Control Panel. The spellcheck froze and the document shut down, but restore recovered it. I did exactly the same thing again, and the spellcheck worked, not like what I am used to, but it did operate without failure. This time it offered for replacements Spanish and English words. I reviewed the document for spelling and it was correct.
A third spellcheck of the document only picked up one word that was spelled correctly and was the same as the suggested word. I changed the default language on the tools-language setting to English. It automatically changed the setting on the format-font setting to Spanish, and it caught one error, then reverted back to English. If it will continue doing this good, I will be happy, but I wish there was a way to change the language easier. With the sporatic failures, I don't know how to narrow it down. Thanks for trying to help.
