&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Configuring Software - OpenOffice ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenOffice is a free, open-source office productivity suite that can read and write formats compatible with the Microsoft Office suite. Best of all, it&amp;#039;s free, although it has recently been acquired by oracle, so its future is uncertain. We&amp;#039;ll emerge the binary package to save compilation time, as well as a spelling dictionary and tool to configure it.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;$&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; sudo emerge -av openoffice-bin app-dicts/myspell-en app-admin/eselect-oodict&lt;br /&gt;
To get spellcheck working, you&amp;#039;ll need to configure the dictionary.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;$&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; sudo eselect oodict set myspell-en&lt;br /&gt;
To finalize the configuration, you&amp;#039;ll need to configure the extension in writer. Open write from the &amp;quot;Office&amp;quot; area of your menu, then select Tools -&amp;gt; Extention Manager -&amp;gt; Add and browse for the file &amp;#039;&amp;#039;/usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
