I am using OOo on Etch with the English (UK) dictionaries enabled.
However, I am finding that when I have the spell check enabled for when
I type, there are no errors being picked up nor does the manual spell
check find any errors either, despite me entering deliberate neologisms
like "ggftr" and so on. KWriter finds the errors just fine so the
dictionaries are evidently loading just fine.
I have fiddled around with the language and writing aids in OOo and
still zippo.

Any thoughts?

Some programs need the package gnome-spell. OO may or may not be one of
these. OO may also need aspell and aspell-en.
