Tested with OOo 2.0.2RC3, WinXP using Writer.

My first test did not reveal the problem:
- Type in "centrosymmetric".
- Spell Check. Add word to 'standard' dictionary.
- Type in "centrosymmetrical" (variant) and also "centrazymmetric" (typo).
- Spell check. The previous word: "centrosymmetric" is correctly suggested.
- However, it is suggested last although it is the closest match. I think this
might be a bug.

For a second test, I used the case attached by the original reporter.
- Type "Aljaafreh".
- Spell check. Add word.
- Now type "Adjafreeh" (Typo in someone's name).
- Spell check doesn't suggest the first word.
- However, using Find for "Aljaafreh" with 'Similar words' checked, does select
the second word "Adjafreeh".

So currently the spell checker does match against the Custom dictionary for
similar words... however, the matching for similarity is limited compared to   
   the 'Find &Replace' function. When spell checking a document you'd want to
limit similarity searching, firstly for efficiency, but also to restrict the
number of suggested words for the User's benefit. Maybe it would be possible to
shift the balance slightly, to accomodate extended similarity matching?...

Regards,
Andrew
