Open Office is ignoring some words that I had added to standard.dic. Words that have the quote symbol in them, although listed in standard.dic, have half of the word marked as spelling errors. Apparently, OOo does not recognize the string as being a single word. The quote character is being treated as a word separator, like the space character.
In Hebrew, acronyms are designated with the quote character, much like the period character is used in English acronyms. Examples with English letters would look like this: NAS"A (instead of N.A.S.A.) FB"I (instead of F.B.I.) Yes, I know that not all English acronyms use the period character, and not necessarily those that I have chosen, but I use them to illustrate my point. I need the string NAS"A to be recognized as a correctly-spelled word. The word is currently in the dictionary, but the OOo parsing engine is not recognizing it.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
