Ralph, I am having a problem with the dictionary. The spell checker flags all words in the document as wrong, which suggests that it does not have a valid dictionary. I checked the Tools->options->OpenOffice.org->Paths and the entry for Dictionary has the path /usr/share/OpenOffice.org641/share/wordbook/english. That directory has the following listing:
ls -la /usr/share/OpenOffice.org641/share/wordbook/english/ total 3740 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 9 18:34 . drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 9 18:32 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 786 Dec 20 06:00 soffice.dic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 666 Dec 20 06:00 sun.dic -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3284160 Dec 20 06:00 th_en_US.dat -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 517205 Dec 20 06:00 th_en_US.idx Those are not much of a dictionary, no wonder it flags all words. Can I use the ispell dictionary? I have the following: ls -l /usr/lib/ispell/ total 4068 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 8 04:07 american.hash -> americanmed+.hash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 985536 Jun 28 2001 americanmed+.hash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 8 04:07 british.hash -> britishmed+.hash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 998400 Jun 28 2001 britishmed+.hash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2156688 Jun 28 2001 britishxlg.hash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5733 Jun 28 2001 english.aff lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 8 04:07 english.hash -> americanmed+.hash The format is not the same as those that came with Open Office. Ispell is binary. Are you using a dictionary?
