> spellcheck for which language? If you want to have anything other than en-US, you'll have to install the appropriate languagepack and helpfile in addition to the software package. Once you've installed all those packages, start LibO and go to "Tools>  Options>  Language" there you can set the UI language as well as the default language used in your documents. Check that everything is set to your preferred language.

Thanks
Spellcheck for English UK. The required dictionary IS installed - or it 
wouldn't work
for the documents where it does work.
I believe that the problem is that for most of my documents the 'Text 
Language' is not set.
When I spellcheck and it doesn't do anything, I can see that behind the 
DB which says '"The spell check is complete. OK" is another DB titled 
"Spelling:[None]" which then says "Text language" and the drop-down
field next to that is blank. I can't use that DB to change this setting 
because when I click on "OK" both
DB's disappear. For the document where spellchecking works, the "Text 
Language" field is set to English UK.
So I need to know how to change the "Text Language" field for a document 
where it is blank, and to
ensure that new documents also have the correct setting.
Advice welcome !
