Using Windows XP SP2.

 

I have found the rc2 version to be arbitrarily refusing to show some of my
dictionaries.  I have about 7 or 8 specialised dictionaries (company names,
Names, Places, specialised one for a particular subject egg construction,
economics and so forth).  I have more or less successfully transferred these
each time I put on a new version by copying the files in program
files-OOo-Share-workbook-enUS.

 

Mostly they are displayed and all the words I have accumulated are shown
(though a while back - around 113 -  one of the dictionaries I had newly
created within OO did not appear in the enUS file).

 

Anyway I have copied back these files for RC2 and they were showing up,  but
suddenly some of them are not - and I am unhappy about this, especially as
it seems to happen semi-randomly (I have a backup programme which copies
them every week but this does not seem to be the issue - sometimes after
re-starting they just don't all show) . I have ticked al the boxed in the
options section for dictionaries and they are all listed there but still do
not show up when I use  the dictionary).

 

I did ask while back about this question because I was unsure how to backup
the dictionaries - the method above is the only one I know.

 

A lot of accumulated effort goes into gradually building up user
dictionaries and having them randomly missing is not good. Does anyone know
why this is happening - am I doing it the wrong way, is there a limit on the
number of dictionaries you can use (six seems to work fine but above that
they start dropping out) where are they stored "really" and so forth.  Or is
it a bug - I am not experienced enough in the programme to state that.

 

I like this dictionary feature - it is another good reason to use OO. But it
is bugging me.

 

Thanks
