Hi,
Thanks for addressing my problem.
I have installed OpenOffice.org3 3.0.1m15. It is the latest version available
from the local South African repositories. I installed it by first removing
openoffice.org 2.4 using apt-get remove openoffice*.*. I then went to the DEBS
directory in the decompressed package and ran dpkg -i *.deb then went to the
desktop integration directory and ran the same command. The installed did not
report any errors.
Upon opening OpenOffice.org3 writer it reports the language English (South
Africa) in the status bar. Under paragraph styes --> font it reports the
language as English (South Africa) and there is a tick with abc in front of the
writing. Under options, language, languages everything is set to South Africa or
English South Africa. The language is set to English (South Africa) with a tick
and abc.
The problem that is happening is that the dictionary is very incomplete. For
example it has the word heavy but not heavily. It has the word enable but not
enabled. There is a long and extensive list of examples. It seems to have
present tense forms of nouns but none of the other tenses. There are many
standard normal english words which are just not in the dictionary at all. If I
switch to English (UK) the dictionary works properly, but a lot of my old saved
documents are saved with the default language English (South Africa)
Please will you look into this problem?
Thanks
Adam Baldinger
