How do I get spell check function in OOO, firefox, etc?

I installed aspell, aspell-en, hunspell , ooo, firefox.
I installed extention in OOO via Tools->Extension Manager (/opt/openoffice/share/extensions/install, cannot remember the exact path).
I enabled spell check in OOO's bottom tab(3rd), to English(Australia), I reinstalled hunspell.
It still does not work.

And yes, I typed some incorrect words/grammar such like:

So the result is, you cannot just read it, you hav to follow it.

I got it working using go-oo  (installed from AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19457)

Installed these dictionaries

~$ pacman -Qs aspell
local/aspell 0.60.6-4
    A spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell
local/aspell-en 6.0-1
    English dictionary for aspell
local/aspell-pt 0.50-3
    Portuguese dictionary for aspell

useless for the stable OOo pkg. OOo 3.0.1 only uses hunspell. what version of hunspell and OOo are you running?

openoffice-base 3.0.1-1
hunspell 1.2.8-1
do I have to install some dictionaries for hunspell, just like aspell-en for aspell?
Thanks !!!

Thanks, but it does not work, furthermore, I've already added the extension in /opt/openoffice/share/extensions/install/...
Strangely, the same sentence:
Even if they are wiling to mak the sacrifce in dollars.
in gedit is spell checked if I tick Tools->Auto Check Spelling
