I am busy now but I will work on that tonight :-P. Hmm.. while here, I would like someone else to review the NOTICE file. I think I have been the only one to check that key file and I am sure I missed some stuff (expat and redland for sure). Pedro.

Spell checker or dictionary... (was Re: Test result: LIbreOffice crashes, AOO doesn't, on OOXML file)

I realise this is a developer release but a project with this profile will get users downloading it. This problem, from a user perspective, is made worse by the fact that this install (at least on windows 7) seems to hide away previous installs of OOo so there is no longer a version with a working spell-checker. We can try and warn users of this change, but they will still download and complain. Ross

Test result: LIbreOffice crashes, AOO doesn't, on OOXML file
I thought the team might like to hear about one of my test results. I have just received a .docx with some rather dodgy formatting techniques used by the author. My partner tried to open it in LibreOffice, on both Linux and Windows - it crashed. I tried it in AOO (Windows 7 with Libre Office, OpenOffice and MS Office) and it did a reasonable job of it - certainly much better than crashing. The only real problems I see is with the strange formatting techniques employed by the author. I'm assuming no dictionary is included since every word I have is reported as being spelt wrong.
