May I repeat a question - does anyone know how to backup the user
dictionaries in OO 3?

Throughout Version 1 and 2 I used several different ones for different
categories I like for my own purposes (like "names") and it is handy to move
them on to the next version each time I upgrade or re-install on the
computer. But in version 3 they are not in the obvious place.

I tried to find the files in Program
Files/OpenOffice3.0/Share/Wordbook....etc but they have vanished.

Then I found a path:

Program Files/OpenOffice3.0/Basis/Share/Wordbook   which has a folder en_us
in it which is very much like the path from version 2.
I copied my user dictionary files from Version two there into Wordbook

When I opened OO these files did appear in the list (I looked in
Tools/Options/language settings/writing aids in Writer and I ticked them to
use them) but they do not appear when I use spell checker.

So clearly something is not right.


For an experiment I removed them again and created new ones inside Writer in
/options/language settings/etc

These DO appear on spell check. But of course they are empty and I have to
start building my dictionaries all over again which is a pain.

Secondly I cannot find the place where the dictionary files are stored.   So
backing up is impossible

I don't want to have to redo these dictionaries all over each time. 



Any help out there?




Regards

Adrian
