Hi all

Just for completeness in this thread, and in case someone sees it in the
archives, here is the gist of a reply I sent to Das privately.

 For some reason it works when you open the personal.dic file with UTF-8
encoding. This was just opening the file directly, not preprocessing
with Kelvin's macro.

OK - trying to be explicit:

1 In openoffice.org: File-open personal.dic (may be in
~/ooo-version/user/wordbook/personal.dic )

2 Ascii Filter options:
 Character set UTF-8
 font whatever you wish
 Language None
 Paragraph  break LF

3 This will give you the list with words separated by # or ## You will
find a ##WBSWG6�## or similar at the beginning of the file, this can be
deleted.

4 Use search and replace with regular expressions to separate words into
paragraphs

5 Ctrl-A then Sort Ascending

6 Clean up as desired.


I hope someone may find this helpful
