Hello Shivaji
1. Open OpenOffice writer and the document you wish to edit.
2. Click Tools
3. Click Spellcheck

(this is the normal way of doing it)

To install dictionaries:

go to File > Wizards > Install New Dictionaries

Then to spell check:

Open your document - select all of the text and then Format > Character > then select the language of the new dictionary you installed

For spell check issues refer this link:

Hope it helps

Hi shivaji

pout means to show displeasure by thrusting out the lips or wearing a sullen expression.. Its a verb and it is a correct word.. Example Usage: pouted her lips.. More on definition of pout:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pout

(its a right word and so OO word is not showing an error)

Maybe MS word hasnt got the right updated dictionary I suppose, So the error mate... ;-)

Hope it clears your doubt
