Hello Deena, I think we have to look in the direction of your last suggestion. The default language choice is made at Tools > Options > Language Settings > Language under Western. Your choice should have the check sign (V) and ABC. If you go to Format > Character > Lettertype, what do you have in the Language window? The name oif the language you have ther eshould be preceded by a check sign (V) and ABC. This means that the corresponding word list is installed. Maybe the new version of OpenOffice.org has US English as default, and you use SA English? Also check the styles and templates you use for the language selection. If the dictionary for your language choice is missing, you can install it again through Fila > Wizard/Assistant > Install new dictionary from the web (or from your hard disk).
