Thank you very much for your prompt reply, Hagar, but I am still at a loss
as to what to do.
I have read your tutorial but the following does not make sense to me:
"If you want to use custom files or old ones not yet packaged as an
extension, you can use an existing dictionary extension: open the .oxt file
with an archive manager (it's a mere zipped file), remove the language
files, replace them with yours and then edit the dictionary.xcu file to
replace the locales and file names, edit also the description.xml file to
make it different for the extensions list in the manager and install that
custom extension".
I understand that I can download an Australian dictionary, but I am at a
loss as to how to include all the additional words I have added over the
years. Even though I have an IT degree I would appreciate some help in
layman's terms, as I am not too bright and also do not have much time to
devote to OOo configuration during my busy work day.
Many thanks
James

Yes, it has changed, see here:

You've to install them as extensions now.
But your custom dictionary is still valid, just copy it in your new
profile /wordbook subfolder.

When I upgrade to a new version of OOo I copy my Dict file from the
previous version so that, in the new version, I will have:
1. the Australian dictionary as default dictionary;
2. all the words I have added to the dictionary over the years.
The "Dict" folder is not where I expected to find it and, in fact, I
have not been able to find it. Has the way OOo handles its dictionaries
changed? How does one copy across previously added words to the OOo 3.0
Dictionary?
Kind regards, James
