------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Sep 8 16:00:31 +0000 2008 ------- Trailing periods may be part of an abbreviation being added to a Spellcheck dictionary. This may be confusing to program, since a period may end a sentence. But it's confusing in the Spellcheck interface, because an unfamiliar word is displayed in red and the trailing period is also in red, yet when it is added to the Standard dictionary and the dictionary is then edited for the new word, the new word lacks the trailing period (as tested with the possibly nonexistent abbreviation "T.Q.W." in midsentence, resulting in "T.Q.W." appearing in red in the sentence but as "T.Q.W" in the dictionary). Thus, the dictionary accepts N.Dak but not N.Dak. (it also accepts N. Dak. or N. Dak with a space). One way to program it is with a checkbox that appears only if the last character is a period and that opts whether to include the end period in the word to be added or ignored. A spellcheck then has to shun inserting or requiring a trailing period next to a sentence-ending period or before an ellipsis or a suspension point or the space that may precede the ellipsis or suspension points. I'm using OOo Writer 2.4.0 without Java Runtime Environment on Linux Fedora Core 4 with Gnome 2.10.0 desktop on a Pentium 4 laptop. I didn't see this feature.
