------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Mar 17 17:37:13 +0000 2009 ------- Hi, Thanks for addressing my problem. I have installed OpenOffice.org3 3.0.1m15. It is the latest version available from the local South African repositories. I installed it by first removing openoffice.org 2.4 using apt-get remove openoffice*.*. I then went to the DEBS directory in the decompressed package and ran dpkg -i *.deb then went to the desktop integration directory and ran the same command. The installed did not report any errors. Upon opening OpenOffice.org3 writer it reports the language English (South Africa) in the status bar. Under paragraph styes --> font it reports the language as English (South Africa) and there is a tick with abc in front of the writing. Under options, language, languages everything is set to South Africa or English South Africa. The language is set to English (South Africa) with a tick and abc. The problem that is happening is that the dictionary is very incomplete. For example it has the word heavy but not heavily. It has the word enable but not enabled. There is a long and extensive list of examples. It seems to have present tense forms of nouns but none of the other tenses. There are many standard normal english words which are just not in the dictionary at all. If I switch to English (UK) the dictionary works properly, but a lot of my old saved documents are saved with the default language English (South Africa) Please will you look into this problem?
