Have you checked the settings in "Tools - Options - Language Settings -
Writing Aids"? Make sure MySpell is checked in the upper box, then press
"Edit" and choose "English (UK)" from the list. (Should appear with an "ABC"
icon next to it.) Then check the MySpell box here as well.
Also make sure that the default language in "Tools - Options - Language
Settings - Languages" is set to the desired language. Finally, verify that
"Format - Character - Font - Language" is correct. (This settings lets you
use multiple languages in the same document.)
Having to explicitly activate the spellchecker is stupid, but that's how OOo
works :( Is there a way to fix this in the package scripts? (The setting is
in an XML file somewhere.)
