Yes, well actually myspell-en-gb.  But I've just apt-get'd myspell-en-us
and the spanish language stuff and that's made no difference to the
situation.

Here's the list of packages installed on my machine:

patch at bitch ~ $ dpkg --list | egrep -i '(office|spell)'
ii  dictionaries-c 0.22.28        Common utilities for spelling dictionary too
ii  ia32-libs-open 1ubuntu1       ia32 shared libraries for with OpenOffice.or
ii  libmyspell3    3.1-6          MySpell spellchecking library
ii  myspell-en-gb  20030813-3     English (GB) dictionary for myspell
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-2ubuntu6 high-quality office productivity suite
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-2ubuntu6 OpenOffice.org office suite binary files
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-4+1      Debian specific parts of OpenOffice.org
ii  openoffice.org 20030813-3     English (GB) hyphenation pattern for OpenOff
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-2ubuntu6 English (US) language package for OpenOffice
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-2ubuntu6 Spanish language package for OpenOffice.org
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-2ubuntu6 OpenOffice.org MIME bindings for KDE
ii  openoffice.org 1.1.2-2ubuntu6 English (US) Thesaurus for OpenOffice.org

I've tried purging and reinstalling all of these, and deleting my
~/.openoffice and .sversionrc, but all to no avail.

I guess I should learn to spell :)
