I only have standard.dic in LibO 3.3 on Maverick but that may just be my 
installation.
Would be good to see what happens in Natty and perhaps forward this as a 
papercut if it persists.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org
  
  When adding a word that is not known by the OO.o Impress spell-checker to a 
dictionary, the list presented to the user is very confusing as it consists of 
the names of the .dic files without an explanation of what each of them is used 
for. See the attached screen shot for details. On a Maverick install, the list 
is:
-  * standard.doc
-  * soffice.dic
-  * Ubuntu.dic
-  * IgnoreAllList
+  * standard.doc
+  * soffice.dic
+  * Ubuntu.dic
+  * IgnoreAllList
  
  Presumably, the second one only applies to OpenOffice.org itself while
  the other ones may apply to other applications as well or to the whole
  OS.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open OpenOffice.org Impress
  2. Enter some misspelt text
  3. Right-click on the misspelt word
  4. Navigate to the Add sub-menu
  
  Expected behaviour:
  The list of options in the Add sub-menu clearly states what is the scope of 
each dictionary (OO.o Impress only, all of OO.o, all of Ubuntu) by providing a 
textual description rather than a file name.
  
  Actual behaviour:
  The in the Add sub-menu gives the user no clue as to what the difference is 
between the different dictionaries and whether adding it to one or the other 
will make any difference.
