THES en NZ th_en_US
HYPH en NZ hyph_en_GB

+Alternately, for OpenOffice.org >= 1.1.1, go to "File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionary" to use the OOoDic Autopilot. Click on "English", press the "Start DicOOo" button, and use the dialog to download any needed dictionaries, hyphenations, or thesauri. Note that you don't need root privileges (useful if you are the only OpenOffice user on your machine) or to mess with symlinks or dictionary.lst. The default behavior is to install in the current user's .openoffice/1.1.1/user/wordbook or .openoffice.org2/user/wordbook (depending on OpenOffice version) directory.
