There isn't one, I'm using OO 1.1. Requests for a grammar checker come up 
regularly on the OO mail lists. And on Abiword, Kword, etc. 

IMO, a live human copyeditor would work better. Anyway, if you want a grammar 
checker, OpenOffice won't be able to help you. I don't know of anything on 
Linux that will do this.
