Really? Then you deleted the original files as OOo only imports WP files
and does not export them. If you did not delete the originals then they
are still on your system somewhere.

Did you select that OOo would be the default application for handling
your documents? If yes, then this was a choice that you made during
installation by selecting the options. See
http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/various_topics/index.html #016
for direction on how to reverse the actions you took.

Well File > AutoPilot > Install new dictionaries certainly offers
Canadian tools. I use them in creating documents for OOo; so I do not
quite understand where you are coming from. If what is offered is
deficient, please take the time to enter an Request for Enhancement
(RFE) into Issue Tracker as this is the best way to have requests such
as this evaluated or even better join the lingucomponent project
( http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/ ) and contribute your improved
version.

If you haven't already registered, do the following:

     1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
        Register link at the top right of www.openoffice.org, 
     2. Fill in your information
     3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
        you provided. 
     4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
     5. And click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box. 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
