Hi Rob, Make sure you also reinstall the dictionary files using the Wizard. Select File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries. If you have documents created prior to installing the Australian English dictionary files you need to change to language of the documents. To see if the dictionary is working, after installing the dictionary files and restarting OpenOffice.org (including closing down Quickstarter) type in the words color and colour. Color should be marked as incorrect. You can get the latest Australian English language files from www.JustLocal.com.au. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the OpenOffice.org image.
