First let's assume that there is the usual confusion about dictionaries and spell checkers, including user dictionaries. I assume - that you don't want to write a dictionary for the existing Hunspell spell checker - and that you don't want to just add one or more user-dictionaries Provided the above, what you want to do is to implement a spell checker on your own! For that there is a documentation which was already used to create the first OOo spell checker: http://sw.openoffice.org/drafts/linguistic_howto.html#1.SpellcheckerimplementationHOWTO|outline And that can as well be done in an extension. The sample code however makes use of some libraries that can no be used with extensions. But the differences should not be too troublesome. Also for OOo 3.01 we are working on integration for grammar checking (or better called proof reading) within the Writer application. That API is already functional but the framework still misses some implementations. Thus sentence based checking will be available as well. However that API is not yet finalized and may undergo minor changes in the future. Thus it will be possible to make use of it but if API changes are happening you would be required to update your extension.
