I was interested to see this link, as I have been playing around with a specialist dictionary. I realise my comments are about the macro you referenced, rather than your page. I tried it under Linux, and it seems to suffer from the 2000 word limit of a "user" dictionary. I have seen other references to this, and I feel it would very likely NOT be useful for someone porting a large dictionary file from MS Word. I loaded a 4000 word dictionary, but the macro stated that 2000 words were added. When I opened the dictionary via Tools-Options-Language Settings-Writing Aids-Edit only down to the "i" entries was displayed. In my comment on this thread http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=93838 there are instructions for loading a larger file as a specialist dictionary Regards Russell --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
