Thanks Thomas
I'll go with that. At least, I'll do another dictionary group with apostrophes and see if it's affected. Sadly this is a set of names that I've been using for over 12 years added in to M$ Word, (wash your mouth out) without hassle. Incidentally the set comes as lower-case plain text and M$ has no problem with this, even allowing names to be in title case and/or apostrophed.
Thanks again.

Hi Wangshanpo,

This thread has unravelled somewhat. My original problem was to get OOo to recognise <'s> apostrophe s suffixed to a proper name that I had installed in a custom dictionary. Capitalisation is not a problem for me - I've already added all names into two dictionary groups. One group contains all proper names in lower case the other contains all the names in Title case.

I haven't found the original posting of the problem.
So anyway:
It is possible to have apostrophe+s as suffix to a proper name found
to be correct by spellchecking.
For example just add "Saskias's" to a positive user-dictionary for all
languages and everything should be fine.

There are two things to be aware of though:
1) All your names must be entered seperately there is no way to
   generalize this.
2) Since autocorrection may turn Ascii-apostrophes in typographical
   apostrophes (according to the specified settings in that dialog)
   you may need to use the typographical apostrophe when adding the
   name to the dictionary or better add both versions.
   Though possibly evrything will be Ok if you use the Ascii-apostrophe
   in the dictionary since I think I remember there was code that at
   least turns the usual typographical apostrophe into an
   Ascii-apostrophe for spellchecking.

Regards,
Thomas
