Spell check in libreoffice [Solved]

I feel like some magic retard for asking this but for some reason their appears to be no dictionaries installed, after installing libreoffice i've subsiquently installed libreoffice-en-GB and yet when i try and add a dictionary the way the wiki suggests extension manager - /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/ theirs nothing their and i cant find where the dictionary is.

Theirs something I'm obviously missing and i've been chasing my tail trying to work it out for quite a while, suggestions?

This is what i have known lately.
Now for LO you need this:
hunspell-en (English hunspell dictionaries)
mythes-en (English thesaurus)
hyphen-en (English hyphenation rules)
and maybe this:
hyphen
libmythes

(Taken from Russian arch-forum)
