I don't know much about Open Office dictionaries. If it's a simple file, and not a database, you could open and read the file from AIR. That should be pretty straightforward. If not, and if OpenOffice has a scripting API for spell check, you could try and see if you can send a script command from AIR to OpenOffice, and then let OpenOffice do the work. But, I'm sorry, you will have to check both OpenOffice and AIR to see if this would be possible.
