Hello Mellannie
• About Add-ons, the OpenOffice.org help file says:
Integrating new UNO components
Programmers can write and integrate their own UNO (Universal Network
Objects) components to OpenOffice.org. Those new components can be added to
the OpenOffice.org menus and toolbars; we call them "Add-Ons".
The integration of new components is supported by some tools and services.
Details can be found in the OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide. The three main
steps are as follows:
1.Register the new components within OpenOffice.org. This can be
accomplished using the tool unopkg, which can be found in {installpath}/
program.
2.Integrate the new components as services. The ProtocolHandler and
JobDispatch services assist you; more information can be found in the
OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide.
3.Change the user interface (menus or toolbars). This can be done almost
automatically by writing an XML text file that describes the changes. More
information can be found in the OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide.
The Add-Ons can extend the functionality of OpenOffice.org. They are not
related to the Add-Ins that provide new functions for OpenOffice.org Calc.
• Concerning your question about dictionaries: if you're looking fo a
Filipino dictionary, I'm afraid there isn't one available yet in OOo (see
http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html
If you want to install a dictionary for another language, there is a
wizard/assistant (macro) that will help you do it: File > Wizards > Install
new dictionary
I suppose it's possible to create a new dictionary yourself, but haven't
looked up how...
