I first started it, it accepted "color" (US spelling) and rejected
"colour" (English spelling).
I thought perhaps it picked up my previous use of en-US from my profile,
but I got the same effect installing on a new Windows 10 computer that
has never run any OpenOffice before.
It is using English, not American, spellings in the user interface, but
I would have expected documents to also default to the installation
language.
What language is supposed to be used, by default, for user documents?
What language is shown centre of Status Bar for the paragraph in question?
You may need to use /Tools /Languages /For all text to change the text language
to English (UK)
I can indeed force correct spelling using Tools/Languages.
My question is what language should be the default. I expected the
installation language, but it seems to be doing something different.
