Hello Peter I suppose you can make your own new dictionary, or edit an existing one. Adding words is easy, throwing words out a bit more difficult... OpenOffice.org uses the hunspell program, see info here: http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ The word lists are *.dic and can be found in something like Library>Application Support>OpenOffice 2.3>User>Wordbook (on my Mac, similar on a Windows computer etc.). They are plain text files.
