------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jul 5 03:40:30 +0000 2008 ------- I have added quite a few new words, but they were at the beginning of sentences and therefore capitalized. I need to convert them to all lowercase and it would be much easier if it was a text file where I could just edit them all at once instead of having to add each word one at a time using the editor in the Tools>Options>Writing Aids>User defined dictionaries>Edit. I have searched this problem and found out that two years ago there was a patch/overhaul of the spellchecker that was supposed to make the custom dictionary an editable text file. Also there was mention in one of the issues about MySpell being used as the spellchecker which had all sorts of ways for the user to edit the custom dictionary. It all looked good, but I don’t know. All I have been able to find is the editor under the path from the Tools menu. Apparently from the discussion on this thread, http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7483&p=35367#p35367, no one else can find an editable custom dictionary either. Also in the thread, mention was made of spellchecking being handled by an extension in OOo 3. My reservations about this are also in the above thread. Perhaps all that is needed is the release of more information about improvements for OpenOffice 3.0? Hmmph, not being released for another six months anyway. Well, crap. MySpell/Hunspell, Mozilla/OpenOffice . . . it’s all the same. And MySpell/Hunspell is the dictionary that I have had this problem with. And in Firefox/Thunderbird too! Where’s the ability to edit the custom dictionary as a text file? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
