------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jan 9 17:21:36 -0800 2007 ------- Hi, I maintain the Australian English dictionary files. The Australian English dictionary file contains approximately 4,000 hyphenated word entries. Recently as a result of this work I retested how OpenOffice.org handles hyphenated words and found it doesn't work as I expected. For example, the term "bric-a-brac" is in the Australian English dictionary for OpenOffice.org, is in the Macquarie dictionary, and recognised correctly by Microsoft Word. It is not handled correctly in OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org appears to check each word as being correct and ignores the hyphens. In this case the words "bric" and "brac" are not valid Australian English words (as far as I know) and should not be added to the Australian English dictionary. I would like to raise a request for hyphenated words to be handled correctly for Australian English.
