After careful reading of the information in synaptic I realised that
installing 'openoffice.org2-l10-....' does not, in fact, install the
dictionary. You have to install the appropriate 'myspell' package. It
worked for French and German but, unfortunately, there is not a Welsh
one in synaptic. I must consult Google.
