as for openoffice, I suggest downloading/installing the new version.

If you want to try some other word processors, I'd say abiword is pretty
solid (don't think it has a good or existent .doc converter though...)

Although it looks ugly, wordperfect is also good alternative. Has a great
.doc ex/importer, spell checker certainly will work too :)

The whole spell check problem sounds like you may be missing some sort of
critical library required for both applications. If you go to rpmfind.net
and search for mandrake packages with "spell" in them, you may run across
something useful.

PS: anyone know how to write a malloc package?? stupid CS courses....
