You may want to check your computer clock.  You apparently posted this

Hi all

For some reason the original post didn't make it through to gmane, so I hope OP is subscribed.

There is a method for installing larger custom dictionaries described in this report: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52103

There is also some discussion at http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=556981

It has limitations, as you can't add new words directly to that list, but doesn't _seem_ to have a size limit. Also doesn't cope with plurals, capitals, apostrophes.

I have been using this method now since quite early in the 1.1 series and the same dictionary functions well on both Linux and Windows.

I then have a separate "user" dictionary to collect the new words, and once a year or so add them to the original.

Let me know if it looks useful and you have problems setting it up.

HTH
