Verify that you have aspell and its english component installed.
I had to manually install them as they weren't installed by default.

In a terminal type:

sudo apt-get install aspell aspell-en

Then OpenOffice.org and click on Tools > Options > Language Settings >
Languages. And under "Default Languages for Documents" section, select
your desired English language whilst making sure it has a 'ABC' icon
next to the language.
Note: The 'ABC' icon means that there is a dictionary installed for this
language.

Hope this helps.
