------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 13 16:28:02 +0000 2008 ------- Thanks for your reply mba: "To make the transition easier for the beta users we still support the old mechanism in the beta." I installed the latest OOo 3.0 beta into a Windows XP system and setup the Options as they were in a version of OOo 2.3 on the same system, except for the new options, of course. That was the easy part. OOo 3 works great, and all of the custom templates load without a problem. Trying to setup the dictionaries has proved less simple. I'm probably overlooking a simple step, but I can't figure it out. I used the "install new dictionaries" wizard in Beta 3 to download and install the dictionaries I want. It properly downloaded the Zip files to the \OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0\share\dict\ooo folder and automatically unzipped them into that folder, informing me that the dictionaries had been installed. However, on restarting OOo 3 they were not available in the Options—>Language Settings—>Writing Aids—>Available language modules list. Only the default installed languages were. I decided to try the old method and replaced OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0\share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst.1st, OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0\share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst, and OpenOffice.org3\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Linguistic.xcu with the files from the OOo 2.3 installation that had only the dictionaries and all that I wanted listed in them and none of the Swahili, Zulu, or other languages that I did not want . In OOo 2.x this method was all that was needed to have the languages I wanted listed in the [Available languages modules]. However, changing those files in OOo 3 does not seem to make any impression on it. Using the "install new dictionaries" wizard [DicOOo.sxw] does not add dictionaries it installs into the dictionaries available list. Is this the way it is supposed to work? How do I make OOo 3 see new dictionaries that are installed into the \OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0\share\dict\ooo folder? How do I tell it which ones I want to be listed as available modules? Thanks for your help. I apologize if I am missing something really simple. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
