Have you looked under Language Settings > Options > Writing Aids in the online help. The help is minimal, but it does discuss how to edit a dictionary. If you think any of the online help is incorrect or lacking in substance file a "bug report" or issue on Issuezilla asking for it to be enhanced. To access the section of the OOo options that deals with editing the user-defined dictionary go to --> Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids. The only default dictionaries that are editable are the Standard and the IgnoreAllList. As far as editing the other dictionaries, why? when the spellchecker can use any selected user-defined dictionary. If you want to add words to the official OOo dictionaries, I believe that the protocol is to file a "bug report" or issue on Issuezilla If you want to fiddle with the shipped dictionaries you may want to ask on the [email protected] mailing list http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html -- Regards, Rick Barnes www.nostabo.net View my OOo tutorials and other references at: http://www.nostabo.net/openoffice.php ******************************************************************* PRIVILEGED - PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL This electronic mail is solely for the use of the addressee and may contain information which is confidential or privileged.
