Hi folks,
Having trouble with managing dictionaries in Writer (and not finding any
topics at www.openoffice.org FAQ) I decided to write to the list.
My Spellcheck is forcing me to Spellcheck using "English (USA)"
dictionary. Literally, after hitting F7 I have "English (USA)" in the
Spellcheck window, even Options -> Language Settings -> Languages have
Czech or Slovakian or Hungarian (I didn't try more languages, but
I think this list suppose to be enough for reporting a problem :o)
Changing Dictionary language (in the Spellcheck dialogue box) to
anything else (Czech/Slovakian/Hungarian) changes the name of the window
from "Spellcheck (English(USA))" to "Spellcheck ()", and no suggestion
comes from any mentioned dictionary.
Further settings:
- User interface: Default (using English WinXP SP2, important?)
- Locale settings: Czech
And I have to say English (USA) Spellcheck works fine.
This behaviour didn't change even after reinstallation of OO SW, and
deleting "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\share\dict\ooo\" directory
and downloading the newest dictionaries.
It looks that the OO doesn't recognise the mentioned dictionaries, but
I don't understand why. Can be this fail caused by another SW I've
installed on my PC before? How can I repair the Spellcheck to behave
correctly?
With many thanks,
Milan
When I used the dictionary wizard, the dictionaries were installed, as
should be expected, in my user folder. On a Windows box, you need to
look in a location such as :
c:\documents and settings\username\Application Data\
OpenOffice.org2\user\wordbook
(In Windows 98, read Windows for documents and settings, I understand).
I have en_GB and en_AU there and they are also listed in the
dictionary.lst file in that folder.
Those are the only dictionaries presently recognised by OpenOffice when
I use it, although other dictionaries are contained in the programme
folder. In the list in Tools >Options, they are marked by a small
emblem resembling the letters "ABC".
A starting point to getting dictionaries is this page:
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/download_dictionary.html
It mentions methods other than the wizard, which I would prefer not to
use again.
