Dear all The forwarded message about a medial dictionary from Richard Holt causes me to write again about the installation of specialist dictionaries in OOo.
With the 1.1.x series it was possible to put a plain text file in the dictionary directory and by giving it a language attribute (mine was en_AU AU_medical.dic) it could be used for spellchecking in that language. Unfortunately this no longer works for the 1.9.x series. I have raised a bug report at http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52103 This still applies to 1.9.125. I have a concern that there is no easy "work-around" for additional dictionaries in a given language. From what I see, even going the route of making a full dictionary file with affixes, would not be able to be used in parallel with the conventional dictionary. I realise that it is possible to load simple text into "users" dictionaries, and that the words are now offered as alternative spellings, but capitalised words have to be included separately and I understand there is a 2000 word limit on each file. Not very helpful if you have a 5000+ word list, and have to put capitalised words in as well, to cope with beginnings of sentences. I would appreciate any thoughts, or if you think this belongs on a different list please let me know.
