Due to licencing issues, some languages can't be included.

    1. Start OpenOffice
    2. File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries...
    3. Select "English".
    4. Click "Start DicOOo"

In the new dialogue box:

    5. Click "Next"
    6. Click "Retrieve the list" [Spelling checker dictionaries]
    7. Select "English (Canada)"
    8. Click "Next"
    9. Click "Next"
   10. Click "Next"
   11. Click "Next"

Remember to "quit OpenOffice.org and the OpenOffice.org QuickStarter.
Restart OpenOffice.org and navigate to the dialog box int he menu
Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids. Select your new
dictionaries" as per the friendly reminder on the DicOOo page.

..and you should be set.
