And the answer is also the same. ;-) Go to the folder user\wordbook in the user-layer of the installation and just copy the respective "standard.dic" file. That full path on a Windows box may actually look like this (depending on your settings): C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\OpenOffice.org3\user\wordbook) And you can get other dictionaries to add words to if you create them manually in the "Tools/Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids" dialog with the "New" button to the right of the second box.
