Since OOo 2.2 Hunspell is the replacement for MySpell (the previous spell checker implementation) that has some new features originally intended to benefit Hungarian. But since they were that useful it became the new default. And it should have been checked after the installation... That is before you copied anything. > CLUE ... > When I copy across my English Australian files, I also copy my old > Dictionary.lst file, to save editing the new one ... maybe there is > something new in Dictionary.lst relevant to the "Hunspell SpellChecker"? > > I look forward to your advice. No there is nothing new to the dictionary.lst AFAIK. But instead of replacing the new one I would rather copy the relevant parts of the old file to the new one.
