In the menu bar you can activate AutoSpellCheck by pressing the ABC-Button (F7). Any unknown words will appear underlined in red. To add an unknown word to the standard dictionary right-click it and choose Add › standard.dic. So over time the programme will increase its vocabulary – providing you are always using the same computer of course.
You can edit the standard.dic manually under Tools › Options › Language settings › Writing aids. In the window User-defined dictionaries choose Edit. Type in a new word and confirm by pressing New.
The language in use is defined in the paragraph style under the tab Font. So a text containing several languages can be spell checked providing you have the appropriate dictionaries installed. You can download extra languagepacks from openoffice.org.
