Well, looks like I broke something. I placed as many user support files as I could in one place, and then pointed Options/Paths to that folder (and only this folder, abandoning the other "parallel" files), for ease of upgrading.
Now, however, autocorrect does not keep any additions. They go into the dialog's list, I OK out, and when I go back they are not there. I checked, and acor1033.dat and acor2057.dat are both not read-only.
Does anyone have any insight on this, or know where I can find how these files are supposed to work?
That is bizarre, I was going to suggest doing what you already said you did in the 1st paragraph.
As a test, you may want to watch the modified time on those files after you click OK in OOo. See of the files are modified or not.
I already did that, and in this case the times are not a-changing. What I need to understand is the rationale behind OO.o accessing two or three acor files in different locations. That is what always baffled me. I suspect my problem is related to that. Perhaps only one of the standard locations is used for user additions, and I've gone and nuked it. If so, that makes my easy-update strategy unworkable, regarding autocorrect at least.
