------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Feb 1 08:40:29 +0000 2009 ------- When I started using OOo 2.0 on my Win XP Pro PCs three years ago I: -- set up a custom dictionary -- moved it to a shared directory to make it (and documents relying on it) accessible from all the PCs on my network -- then added the shared directory to the entry for: Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths > Custom Dictionaries However from OOo 2.4 onwards (tried 2.4 and 3) it appears that the Custom Dictionaries path setting has been removed. In other words I have to put my custom dictionary in the default local directory. Obviously this makes it much more inconvenient to share OOo documents on a network and I am wondering... 1) Why was the ability to specify custom dictionary directories (via the GUI) removed? (Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths > Custom Dictionaries) 2) Are there any plans to reinstate the ability to specify custom dictionary directories from within the OOo GUI? I certainly would appreciate this very much. 3) In the meantime, is there a simple way to make OOo 3 use my existing custom dictionary in addition to the other installed dictionaries? (eg by changing config files / registry, adding an extension...) Note my custom dictionary was created in OOo 2.0 and needs to be stored outside of the OOo directory structure so that I can share it with other PCs (my documents are going to be moved to a NAS server soon). Note - I use Win XP Pro SP2 logged in as Adminstrator. PS - This is the first time I have posted an issue and I have tried my best to adhere to the guidelines - searched to see if a similar issue has already been raised, tried to be as clear as possible in my explanation of the issue, etc. I apologies in advance though in case I have posted the issue incorrectly! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
