As you have been sending mails to the users list -
users@openoffice.apache.org - that would presumably be the list to which
you want to subscribe. To assist you further, I'll repeat below the
information for that list, taken from the link I provided earlier:
Users Mailing List (Public)
This list is for users, for questions about OpenOffice, for feature
requests, for discussions about the product and project, etc.

Post (after subscription): users@openoffice.apache.org
Unsubscribe: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org

Note that some of the text above, points 4 and 5, has links on the web

Thank you, David.
I have downloaded and installed 4.1.7 from the link you suggested.
Re the spellcheck problem, I used the "python" script to repair it. It
has stopped putting the red wiggly lines under everything, but now
does not indicate words which I know are misspelled. The spellcheck
window shows no dictionaries selected, although Tools > Options >
Language Settings > Languages shows something (dictionaries?) selected
- see attached.
I connected to the link you gave to subscribe to the list, but cannot
follow the instructions as I have no idea what list I need to
subscribe to, nor what lists are available, so I did not know what to
substitute for the "xyz" in the subscribe email.

The update problem is a known issue; version 4.1.7 is the latest
version of Apache OpenOffice. Just go to
http://www.openoffice.org/download/ if you need to download a later
version than you have. For extensions, you'll have to check the
individual extension pages for updates.
Since you are not subscribed to this list you may not see all the
replies to your query. To subscribe to Apache OpenOffice mailing
lists go to http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this reply to you as well as to
the mailing list. Do Not reply to me personally but just to the list
at <users@openoffice.apache.org> - replies to my personal email
address will be ignored.

Currently using v 4.1.5
1. SPELL CHECK
When I activate the spell checker, it is unable to recognise any
words in my documents as correct - all are underlined in red,
indicating misspellings. I have tried the English (Australian),
English (US) and English (UK) dictionaries with the same results for
each of them.
2. UPDATE
When I click on Help - Check for Updates I get the message "Error
reading data from the Internet. Server error message: " but no
server error message follows. Connection to the internet by email
client (Thunderbird) and internet browser (Google Chrome) have no
problems.
