Getting the Australian dictionary to work in OO

Here are the steps I took to get the Australian dictionary to work in OpenOffice 2.2 as installed by default in Ubuntu Feisty:

File->Wizzards->Install New Dictionaries

Chose the relevant dictionaries, wait some time for them to install. Restart OpenOffice

Tools->Options

Choose Language Settings->Writing Aids
Choose OpenOffice.org Hunspell Spell Checker
Click Edit
Choose the relevant Australian dictionary for each tool (spellcheck, hyphenation, thesaurus)
Click Close
Click OK

And it all works
