This worked fine, but it downloaded the dictionaries from the internet,
and it took an appreciable time with multiple dictionaries. When I
install on the 20 machines in the computer lab (the manager doesn't want
a network installation since Word is installed on each machine!), how
can I make them install without tying up internet bandwidth for that long.

This is how I installed my dicitionnaries:
1/ Go to http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/dictpack.html and
download "dicOOo.sxw" (the first one in the list): this is a text
document into which a simple macro is installed to help you download
the various dictionnaries.
2/ This new document will open itself in Writer; Just click on the
button to launch the macro and then follow the prompts to install you
selection of dicos!!
That's it.
Good luck / bonne chance.

I am attempting to use OpenOffice to teach computer use to a batch of
22 excited university students who have just gotten access to their
first computers, knowing that everyone around uses illegal knockoff
copies of Microsoft Office since no one can afford to buy legal copies.
I have installed OpenOffice but have not yet succeeded in installing
the dictionaries. It tries to download off the internet but says it
has a problem. Following some of the information, I have put the
zipped versions of all the dictionaries (spelling, hyphenation,
thesaurus) in a folder called "local". I can not find where to
download the dictionary lists--my links say they cannot find the
documents. I have just now been trying to download DictInstal
0.9.3.2. for Windows, and my machine says it can't find the link.
I am a historian rather than a computer specialist.
