James,
I take the same steps in order to install a British thesaurus when I
upgrade my installation. What I also do is check the new dictionary list
before I over copy it with the old to make sure they are both in the
same format. I noted that before OOo2.0 came out the US thesaurus was
updated to version 2 and was designated as such in the ooo directory. So
I would say just have a quick look at the contents of the new ooo
directory before copying anything into it. This then gives you the
chance to make any changes to the old list file that may be necessary
before copying.

Whenever I upgrade to the latest version of OOo I install the
Australian Dictionary. In the interests of doing this quickly, and
because I have added many words to my Australian Dictionary over the
years and do not want to start off with a fresh copy, this is the way
I do it (in Windows XP) ...
Once the new version of OOo is installed, I copy my existing
dictionary list file and the three *.au files into the ...
/share/dict/ooo folder, answering "yes" when it asks if I want to
over-write the dictionary.lst file.
I then fire up OOo and go into Tools/Options/Language settings, to set
my spell checker and locale to "Australian"
MY QUESTION
Is this the best way to do it?
I am always concerned that one day a new version of dictionary.lst, or
other files in the ooo folder, will change and I will be copying old
files over new formats.
A little worry only, but I would appreciate your comments.
Many thanks, James
