Openoffice spellchecking - can't 'change all'

Hi all -
I'm having problems with the openoffice spellcheck working the way (I think) it should work.
Right now, I'm spellchecking .srt files I'm ripping from dvd. The suffix is not important, as far as I know, since they're plain text files anyway.

The problem is that gocr has misspelt a lot of words, substituting I for l etc. When the spellcheck picks this up, I edit it and click 'change all'. My understanding is that every instance of the same word will be replaced with the edited word - but this doesn't happen, I have to edit each one individually. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the spellcheck just crappy.
Thanks.
