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, Kelvin Eldridge OpenOffice.org Australian English dictionary creator/maintainer. www.JustLocal.com.au (Links to dictionary file pages located at the bottom of the page.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
