Dear Jean-Charles There is an impressive collection of distionaries for OOo, free to be downloaded from the OOo website. One way to do this is to use the DictOOo macro that comes with the program. You access it through File > Wizards > Install new dictionaries. Some people find that this macro takes "too much space" (or memory), so you can also go to the OOo site and do it manually. Secondly, OOo will only check text for the language that is defined as default in Tools > Options > Language settings > Languages - or specified in diffferent templates, styles, fonts used in the text. Remember that for OOo, language is linked to character: Format > Character > Font > Language. Good luck -- Guy
