Hi,

I maintain the Australian English dictionary files, which are now used across 
many projects.

The Australian English dictionary file contains approximately 4,000 hyphenated 
words.

Recently as a result of this work I retested how OpenOffice.org handles 
hyphenated words and found it doesn't work as I expected.

For example, the term bric-a-brac is in the Australian English dictionary for 
OpenOffice.org, is in the Macquarie dictionary, and recognised correctly by 
Microsoft Word. It is not handled correctly in OpenOffice.org.

OpenOffice.org appears to check each word as being correct and ignores the 
hyphens.

I would like to raise an enhancement request for hyphenated words to be 
handled correctly for Australian English.

Could a second person using Australian English please confirm this is an issue.

I have checked Issuezilla and not found an appropriate issue. If someone knows 
if an issue has been raised please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
