Had a quick look at the format of en_US.dic dictionary file for the
USA English language that come with the standard 1.9.95 install. It
seems to be in a plain text file format as well. One word per line.

Would there be any problem in adding to that list the words that you want.

The list was however alphabeticised so you may have to do some work to
re-alphabeticse the list once you've added your terms but that
shouldn't be too tricky....

Thanks, I was able to do that also but then how do I get it into a

Hi Chuck

There was some discussion regarding this last year,

Have a look at a thread starting:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=79519

There was a bit more on [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Installing a word list once you have it in plain text form is not very hard, please ask if you need more specific help.

On this point, I would like to congratulate the developers who have changed the behaviour of "user-collected" dictionaries in OOo 1.9.104, so that the words collected are now offered as alternate spellings. Unfortunately it still requires capitalised and non-capitalised forms in the list, but this is a great advance.

I was just editing a document today when this became apparent. Very well done all

Russell
