As you have posted in an OpenOffice mailing list, I assume that when you write 
"Office" (normally a shorthand for MS Office) you mean OpenOffice Writer and my 
answer is targetted towards that.

If all words are underlined with red wiggly line, then most probably no 
language is set by default for your text.  If you have the Status Bar turned on 
(bottom bar of OpenOffice Window - /View /Status Bar if not showing) the 
language for the document at the cursor position is shown in  the middle of the 
Status Bar.  This will probably be "None".

This tutorial explains how to correct for an unselected or wrongly selected 
language.
