Which Operating System are you on? I use Win XP Pro. I use the US English download of OOo with UK English and Danish dictionaries installed; my default language is set to UK English. I recently upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4. Both dictionaries remained intact and properly recognised by the new version. My default language remained set at UK English. I did not back up the dictionaries before the upgrade. As far as I can remember the same was true when I went from 2.2 to 2.3. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
