Hello
Me again with another teething problem!
I seem to have done something strange to my spell check. I have followed all the procedures and clicked on auto correct etc..but it does not underline anything in red wavy lines...even when I deliberately miss-spell a word????I am in the throes of a major essay and REALLY need spell check to be working as I write my essay.
HELP!!!
Cheers
Kate

Do you have a dictionary installed that matches the language settings of your essay? If the installed dictionary is English USA and your essay language is set to English Australia, spell checking cannot work.

You can install dictionaries via "File -> Wizards -> Install new
dictionaries...", but to obtain the latest Australian dictionary I
recommend you visit this page:
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau
and scroll down to the links for the OOo dictionary.

When you have the dictionary installed visit this page:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=67
for more information about configuring language options in OOo.

Hope this helps.

Dave
