Have you tried going to Tools > Language > For all Text > More... There you can change the Default language for Western documents. Look in the drop down list of languages. If English (USA) has ABC with a tick against it then all you have to do is to change to that and click OK. (If the other language settings are UK, you may want to change them as well). However, if there is no ABC and a tick against English (USA) it means you need to go and get the version for English (USA) from here. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86&lang=en-US If that still does not work, then report back, as something is amiss with the downloads.
