Thank you VERY MUCH Russell, yes it works now! It was easy after all, but the information on how to do it doesn't seem to be easily accessible.... Thank you for the link you gave. Previously I was looking into the http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html page and particularly into the Greek page since I cannot understand any of the other languages :) but no mention was made there about the method suggested in the page you sent me. I suppose this is something to improve.
The next thing to find out is how to unistall some of the default dictionaries --- such as Irish and Zew Zeland English --- since I am never going to use them and they might put unecessary load on my computer. I suppose I will be able to find this now that I got into the right path! Another place that the information about dictionaries should be is in the Help Window since this is an obvious place to search, I hope new versions will do this. I have OpenOffice 2.0 and there is not any helpful information in there. Thank you very much! Yannis On 23/10/06, Russell Butler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi Yannis, You did not say what version of OpenOffice.org you were trying or what Linux distribution, which can be useful information. Have you looked at http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/download_dictionary.html where you should be able to find a link to a Greek dictionary and the methods of installing. I have been using OOO on Linux for about two years and have no problem getting dictionaries.
