Dear sir ( Bejoy kurian),
1. I think you succeed up to step 7. before proceeding next step, kindly ensure your microphone is plugged in and working properly.( use Windows's microphone testing wizard which under control panel).
2. whether update dictionary is working properly.( step 11 and step 12)..
3. If problem still continues, mail me about your system config like OS and version of OpenOffice....
