Replying to [ticket:3022 ringlis]:
> Recommend updating OpenOffice to ver-3. I compiled the suite using a
modification of existing OO-2 instructions, see attachments.
> I could not use the existing Xulrunner-1.9.1.7 installation due to it
being "too-new" and had to use Mozilla-1.7.5 built in the OO3 source tree.
I also used JDK-6u17. I could not use any system "Mozilla" ldap and had
to install openldap.

Noticed a nice bug today. It seems the spell checker was not catching any
intentionally misspelled words. Nor was it prompting me for corrections
using F7.
So I did a quick "google" on it, seems this is not uncommon. I downloaded
the dictionary for EN_US and proceeded to install it. OpenOffice prompted
me with this dictionary is already installed do you wish to overwrite, I
did. Now the spell checker functions.
So time to figure out why it didn't see my original dictionary. I found
the oxt files in (for my install)
/opt/OpenOffice-3.1.1/share/extension/install/(choose your dictionary).
Even though I configured for en_US (dict-en) and (dict-en) en_GB,
OpenOffice also built dict-fr and dict-es. Whats odd about this is you
have to "browse" for your dictionary and install it.
Soffice > Tools > Extension Manager > Add.. > Browse to your extension,
and install. I assume this added configuration would not be necessary if
you ran the installer (which we disable).
The downloaded en_us.oxt shows up in
~/.openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/../../ and not in the
openoffice-3.1.1/share/extension so the installer overwrite was only
within my local config.
Just something to add to the Notes section for this package instructions.
