Using the Linux version 2.2.0 from the OOo web site, these two dictionaries are read only files. So even an Adminstrator would have to change the read-write permissions before he or she could make any changes. Conclusion: this was done on purpose.

My first question was: are soffice.dic and sun.dic in the
<application data>\share\-path remaiders of older versions /
installations.

This is a possibility. In my system, these two dictionaries have a creation date of March 21, 2007. The standard.dic in my home folder has a creation date of April 24, 2007.

My third question was: pls pointers to possible documentation on
this subject.

Thanks,

Just a couple of observations on Linux installations

On my gentoo system - using OOo binaries installed into /opt/ the soffice.dic and sun.dic are in /opt/OOo_version/share/wordbook with user id 786 and group 261, neither of which feature in any of my account management resources. As such, they are only modifiable by root.

OTOH standard.dic is in /home/russell/.openoffice.org2/user/wordbook/ which is owned by me in group "users"

Hence the behaviour Cor reports is what one would expect in Linux. I presume the Debian installation he comments on is similar, even though the actual installation directories may differ. I can't comment on Windows usage
