When you add a new word to the dictionary so that the spelling of the new word is not underlined as a miss-spelled word, three choices come up.
standard.dic soffice.dic sun.dic
What are the differences between the three dictionaries?
Should the same dicionary be selected each time a miss-spelled word is added?
That is a good question thanks, I've been stumped by it as well. Also, wouldn't it be best if the new words get added to your personal dictionary rather than one that's there?
Just my thoughts JB
Here's my take on it: Go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids
Then uncheck soffice [All] and sun [All] under User-Defined Dictionaries. You can even delete them if you wish, but *do not* delete IgnoreAllList [All] (I'm not sure if it will even let you do that).
If you look at those dictionaries all they have are a bunch of terms and names that are very specific to Sun corporation and OOo development.
Create a new User-Defined dictionary and call it "Personal" or something. Use that for things like your name and other proper nouns that are specific to you and that will come up often in your writing.
I also have a dictionary I call "tech" that I use for terms that are specific to my field that come up when I am writing papers and such. You can create as many User-Defined dictionaries as makes sense for your usage. That way you can activate and de-activate particular dictionaries depending on what you're doing.
Use Ignore for those terms and names, etc. that are specific to the document you are creating, like the name of a correspondent. It doesn't carry over betwen documents.
