You tell in very general terms what you have done so far. You need to be explicit, so that we can see what's wrong.
For the spell checker to work, you need to:
1. have a working dictionary for the language that you use. You should normally select that language for the Default paragraph style when you write in one language. In the list of languages in the Default paragraph style dialog box, your language should have a green checkmark to the left of the language name.
2. set that language for the text that you type. You can do that in the Default paragraph style, or another one if you switch between languages a lot. It's not a good idea to set the language by direct formatting - it's inefficient (because you will have to apply it again and again as you enter text), it will increase the file size, and it's just not good style, pun intended.
3. have a properly working user profile.
On a side note, it's probably time to move on to LibreOffice.
