Thanks,

so is not just me... The question is, is this a OO or a fedora problem?
I remember reading somewhere that the openoffice.org version of OO uses ispell 
while the OO version from Fedora has been modified to use aspell. Is that 
correct? Just wanting to make sure that I report the bug at the right 
place...

Thanks,

Peter.
