The code you want to play with is editeng/source/misc/svxacorr.cxx . You probably want to tweak SvxAutoCorrect::SearchWordsInList() so that it fallbacks to 'en' in case the word is not found in 'en_US', or something like that; but you will have to tweak some code around that probably too, in order to load the shared acor_XY.dat in addition to acor_XY_AB.dat, etc. I don't think it is hard; but some constructs used in that piece of code are not too obvious, my favorite is this condition: else if( ( FStatHelper::IsDocument( sUserDirFile ) || FStatHelper::IsDocument( sShareDirFile = GetAutoCorrFileName( eLang, sal_False, sal_False ) ) ) || ( sShareDirFile = sUserDirFile, bNewFile )) Regards, Kendy _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
