 that Macro does not work with windows. :(

I do not know why, because the macro is for all operating systems under which 
OO runs suitable (e.g. Windows, Linux, MacOS).

*What error message occurs?*

yes, I have, on the latest version of open office using windows 7 and 
that is how I got the error code 42 extraction failed. I am running the 
latest version of java to interact with the java access bridge so JAWS 
can work with open office, as well, if that helps.

To ensure that I understand you correct, you are asking for a tool or whatever 
to convert your local personal dictionary from word into a form that can be 
used on OpenOffice, correct?

Sounds like an interesting extension project and yes you are correct to ask 
here on the list for such things. It's always good if users bring up real use 
cases of their daily work ...

I can't promise anything but who knows ...

Hello, 

 From: The weird writer [mailto:weirdwriter9...@gmail.com] 

 I know this is a developer’s email list, but I'm a user and 
 since this 
 list is filled with developers I’d like to suggest a macro. I 
 want to be 
 able to import autocorrect entries from Microsoft word to 
 open office. 
 I’d gladly donate to this project or even purchase this functionality 
 for a small fee, but as I have cerebral palsy I use AutoCorrect as an 
 accessibility tool and I don’t want to manually import a bunch of 
 entries, I’d say 1 thousand. 

I do not know the exact format of your AutoCorrect entries, but on my website 
you can find a small macro that is suitable for importing simple list of 
AutoCorrect entries (respectively dictionary entries), see:

Wortliste in vorhandenes Wörterbuch übernehmen
http://www.calc-info.de/makros.htm#wortliste

The import format must be a simple txt file with one word per line, for example:

apple
lemon
orange
Strawberry
...

Yes, 1000 Entries are not a problem.

 Is this being developed, will it 
 EVER be in 
 a release of open office or do I have to look towards libre office?

I do not think that this is the correct statement to promote the development of 
OpenOffice.
If you mean to put pressure on volunteers, please change immediately to libre 
office.
Or do I misunderstand your statement?



Greetings,
Jörg

yes, that is  what I am asking. this is a page about autocorrect...

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/autocorrect-spelling-and-insert-text-and-symbols-HA010354277.aspx

and here is a macro to export autocorrect entries from microsoft word.

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/exportautocorrect.htm

I want a way to import all of these autocorrect entries into Open Office.
