Why these versions we combined into one extension, I do not know. The big reason for the different versions [there are over 20 for Spanish], is the fact that we have localized versions per country or region.

The only one I know of is shown in the Extension Manager as American English spelling-hyphenation-thesaurus-773407 words 2012.06.24 That is the one I linked above. The reason for the 2012 date is due to the fact that June 24th of 2012 was the last modification of that dictionary extension file. I have not seen an official American English 2012 dictionary out there, as of yet. But I may update my English dictionaries again before the year is out. Where did I get my information - i.e. word list - from? Well there are many sources of spelling word lists out there in the electronic ether and I found them over the years and collected the words into one set of lists for American, British, and Canadian versions of English. Back in the 1980's I did a spell checking dictionary project at a college and there were about 177,000 words in that list back then, Now my lists are all over 600,000 words each.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x . . . x
My 770,000 word version is much, much bigger in the number of words checked. To add it to your copy of LibreOffice just go to TOOLS and then Extension Manager. There will be an add button that you can use to add an extension from a file you have on your computer. LO will use both, since the included version is locked, but it seems that the most recently installed versions are used first. I found this out, since my thesaurus lookups showed before the included thesaurus's lookups in the listing of words. I do not know if you can do an install for Windows, using the custom install, and not install the included English dictionary and just install your own external dictionary extension.

Also there is Calligra which looks a lot nicer than my previous suggestions. It's a whole Office Suite rather than just a Word replacement so it's a bit heavier to download. http://www.calligra.org/get-calligra/ Regards from Tom :) From: Robert Burns joyseyh...@yahoo.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org; Dan Hall dih...@myfairpoint.net Sent: Saturday, 13 October 2012, 19:49 Subject: RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x Ok just got this Offiical version of libre from their web site - 208 mb and 8 mb help - Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: da8c1e6) english U.S. - for windows 7 64 bits has all the bells and whisles and the spell / grammer check does work for windows 7 64 bit ! ! !
