OpenOffice.org and Spelling

[Ed Sutherland <digital@twcny.rr.com>]

How do I get OpenOffice to spell-check my documents? Am I missing a 
package? Whenever I select "Spellcheck" from the Tools menu, OpenOffice 
says spell-checking is complete -- although there are some words spelled 
incorrectly on purpose.

AbiWord correctly spell checks my documents, but I prefer OO's 
look-and-feel. Any suggestions? Thanks.
