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.
My added words carried over easily when I upgraded from 2.4.1 to 3.0
for Windows XP, though I forget the exact process. A copy of
standard.dic has appeared in the correct new folder. I do have a
note that the first time I ran 3.0 there was an option to "Transfer
personal data": this was ticked by default.
But if all else fails there is a crude workaround:
o Open your existing standard.dic file (is that where your words
are?) in Writer (or open it in a plain-text editor and copy and paste
the material into a Writer document).
o If necessary, use Writer's Find & Replace to remove spurious
characters and leave a clean list of words - though you may not need
to do this.
o Now run the spelling checker, selecting Add for each rejected word
that you still want to have in your dictionary.
o Discard the document.
I trust this helps.
