You can extend the de_DE.dic file of your installations with your word list. The German dictionary is open source, and you don't need to modify the first line (approximate word count) of the de_DE.dic, simply copy your word list to the end of the file (in the same encoding). (Other methods for OOo 2.4: I believe, you can use multiple definitions in the old dictionary.lst configuration file to the same locale: DICT de DE de_DE DICT de DE your_wordlist Copy your_wordlist.dic (your word list) and your_wordlist.aff (an empty file or the copy of de_DE.aff, if you need Unicode encoding, use SET UTF-8 instead of the default ISO8859-1) to the folder of the dictionary.lst of your installation. Maybe you don't need double DICT in the dictionary.lst, if you want to install your dictionary to the personal Openoffice.org folders of your installations. If I right remember, OOo 2.4 can use both of system-wide (full de_DE) and the personal (your words) dictionaries.
