You may edit the file as described in <http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=67> See also -> Issue 72559 'Dictionary configuration deleted at upgrade' <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72559> Manfred -- New Features 2.4 <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.4> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
