Reccomend with all my heart that you download OOo114 and wait for the announcement that OOo2 stable is released. How can I safoy this, so that you don't think I'm disparaging OpenOffice.org version 2? OOo2 doesn't exist yet. It is a beta. Currently all beta2s are not ready for daily use. However, if you wish to persist, then realize that part of the cost of running beta software is to report problems to the issuezilla and not to write asking how to do something in OOo2. It is getting better but there are still demons in it. OOo2 is not a release. It is beta. It may eat your dog. > Downloaded several files already and installed (as a test) Version 2 (beta > version). > Also downloaded several dictionary files. > Yet, the folder "dictinstaller" contains only 3 gif images, but no exe file. > the link found on the website: http://www.ooodocs.org/dictinstall/ > does not lead anywhere (dnserror) > > Question: > How/where do I get the dictionary installer?� It is incorporated into OOo114 in the menu: File--AutoPilot--InstallNewDictionaries You can use it at least 2 ways, off-line if you have previously downloaded the DictPack for the languages you need, from here: http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/download_dictionary.html ; or while on-line, it will find them and install the dictionaries you choose. On-line is probably the simplest and least error prone. There is a bug with some of the OOo2betas, so this menu entry doesn't always work. You can still activate the macro manually but then you need to go looking in the directories where you installed OOo. > Do I need that for Version 2 (it says it works only for Version 1) > If not, how do I install the dictionaries? > Without dictionaries the "Writer" would be close to useless. Well, just not as useful as it could be. regards, Richard. > Thank you in advance for your assistance. > Thomas Blasejewicz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
