Installing Ubuntu included OpenOffice by default. However, when starting oowriter I kept getting message
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
oowriter is working, at least the basic things, but I read that for some advanced stuff one might need Java runtime environment. I installed sun-java6-jre, but that did not solve the problem. Finally, the solution was:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-java-common
This takes care of that :)
Spellchecker for another language
Adding Latvian dictionary is fairly easy. Run oowriter,
go to File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries..., follow the directions and you have it. Remember to restart oowriter.
The catch: If you get a "too small of a window" at some point, disable visual effects in Ubuntu (8.04): go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> None.
