Configuring Software - OpenOffice
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's free, although it has recently been acquired by oracle, so its future is uncertain. We'll emerge the binary package to save compilation time, as well as a spelling dictionary and tool to configure it.
$ sudo emerge -av openoffice-bin app-dicts/myspell-en app-admin/eselect-oodict
To get spellcheck working, you'll need to configure the dictionary.
$ sudo eselect oodict set myspell-en
To finalize the configuration, you'll need to configure the extension in Writer. Open Writer from the "Office" area of your menu, then select Tools -> Extention Manager -> Add and browse for the file /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt.
