1. Change the URL you cited ...

5. Load the result into Calc and you have a searchable spreadsheet of

desk

Herewith the result of doing what Harold Fuchs suggested.
I trust this helps.

Brian,
First, thanks for sending the "dictionary" to Ely Schoenfeld.
Second, please help me explain what I see when I do this. I have two
computers. Both run Firefox 3 on Win XP Pro. When I tried the procedure last
night (London time) on my laptop the accented Spanish characters got mangled
and I was obliged to send only the instructions. When I tried the same thing
just now on my other machine the accened Spanish characters do *not* get
mangled. Any idea where to start looking for settings to change on my laptop
so the accented Spanish stays intact there too?
Sorry to reply to my own post but I cracked the problem. It was my
*browser* settings. On the system that mangled the accented Spanish
characters I had Western (ISO-8859-1). On the system that retained the
integrity of the characters I had UTF-8. Changing to UTF-8 made the
problem go away.
