Hello again, Dictionaries are now (as from 3.0) extensions, that have to be installed as you would install any other extension in OOo. See http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/resources/user/howto_install or Help (F1) extension manager When I go to (translated from Dutch) Extra > Language > Install more wordlists from the web it opens a webpage with wordlist extensions (unfortunately not in alfabetical order): http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary?cid=926385 Anyway, I suppose you use US_en English, which comes pre-installed. If you have autosave on, check were OOo saves, better make it to a seperate temp folder, as the default tmp may be trashed by the OS or whatever. I have no experience with saving on a file server -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 RC4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 RC4 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
