I have not figured out if this can be done, or how. The documentation implies that is can be done. Any help would be appreciated.
No he logrado verificar si se puede verificar la ortografia con un diccionario espanol. Agraderceria cualquier ayuda.
Go to File -> Autopilot -> Install dictionaries. This will start the OODictionary macro. With it, you can download the latest ones and install them automatically.
It should work easily. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

Thnanks very much. I did as you instructed and it worked. If you are feeling charitable, perhaps you can help with the next question:
I selected the Spanish Dict. to check a column of translations, but it switches back to the default English dictionary after each word. Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood the cryptic directions?
Also, while the SP dictionary now works for the spreadsheet, when I tried to spellcheck a Spanish doc. in the word processor, it would only do so in English...Should I download yet another copy in the word Processing program?
Sorry to be so lame about all of this. I'm new to OO, and after hours trying to get that to work, I gave up and loaded NeoOffice, which installed quickly and easily.
According to the wizard for dictionary loads, by holding down Control, one can select several dictionaries at a time. This does not seem to work, at least for me. Has anyone else had issues with this feature?

¡Ola!
You need to change the text to Spanish, if you haven't already.
Go to Layout -> Character. See the Font tab. Select your language and close.
Good luck. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

You will need to set the language of your text to the appropriate Spanish version for the spell-checker to work in Spanish, since from the specific issues in your posts it seems like your System language is not set as Spanish. (Look up "languages; documents" in the Neo/J help.)
Hope this helps.

Many thanks to both of you. I had suspected that the help text was written with PCs in mind, and that I really ought to change the language, but being brand spanking new to the app, I thought it best to wait for the experts before getting more frustrado.
I really am grateful for the promptness of the help, and the fact that it's written in clear English!

PS- You guys saved me hours of stumbling around...If you ever need help with translations to foreign languages, please stop by forum.wordreference.com. I'm a moderator there, and will do anything I can to repay your kindness.

I'm not familiar with any other Spanish-speakers who are "regulars" here on trinity, so if you would be willing to translate our draft release into Spanish (it will continue to be revised probably up until release time, so it's not imperative to do the translation now), and if you know any Spanish-language Mac sites we should send the release to (see the bottom section of http://neowiki.sixthcrusade.com/index.php/NeoOffice/J_Advocacy), either/both would be helpful.
Eventually we'd like to have our entire wiki translated into multiple languages (like wikipedia does), but we're not quite ready for that project yet....
Gracias!

Would you be willing to translate the Neo/J download (http://www.planamesa.com/neojava pages to español? Conozco hablar y leer español, pero no uso mucho el idioma. Asà que, mis traducciones a español no son muy bienes.

I'll do what I can to help. Give me a few days to use the software and get familiar with it. I need to get to know the site you cite also. For specific translation needs, either send me a PM [private message] at the WordReference forums... I'm Cuchuflete in that world, or e-mail to mmmapache at yahoo dot com

Hola Patrick,
I'm tempted to say yes, but let me read it first! As I'm starting, as of today, to use the NeoOJ software, it only seems fair to support the effort.
I hate bad documentation, and the fact that I had to come here for help--which was quick and good!-- tells me that the documentation/help facilities are not all they might be. So, I guess that means I'm willing to do more than complain... You can reach me as described in the prior post.
Te agradezco la colaboración tan amena,
