Well, it isn't a permission related problem then. It sounds like we need
to add a dictionary without using the graphical interface - we have to
add it manually. The question is: how the heck do we do this?
Go into "/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo" via the CLI and do "ls". I
get the following...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo$ ls
DicOOo.sxw en_GB.aff en_GB.dic en_US.aff en_US.dic th_en_US_v2.dat
dictionary.lst en-GB.aff en-GB.dic en-US.aff en-US.dic th_en_US_v2.idx
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo$
... what's more interesting is that when I open "en-US.dic" it shows a
huge list of words. "en-US.dic" appears to be the dictionary. I believe
that "dictionary.lst" is the file in OO which tells it what dictionaries
to use (As seen in writer aids). I have uploaded "en-US.dic" to
Launchpad as seen in this comment. I think that someone should try
copying it into "/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo" and then edit
"dictionary.lst" to make the dictionary visible. Your "dictionary.lst"
file works like this:
## !!! BEGIN AUTOMATIC SECTION -- DO NOT CHANGE !!!
## !!! ADD YOUR ADDITIONAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS SECTION !!!
DICT en GB en_GB
DICT en US en_US ## Edit: This is where it makes the US_English dictionary
show up. (Read next line)
##(Continued) If you don't have this line (DICT
en US en_US) then please add it!
THES en US th_en_US_v2
THES en GB th_en_US_v2
## !!! END AUTOMATIC SECTION -- DO NOT CHANGE !!!
... I don't know if this will work, but it's probably worth a try. It
says "DO NOT CHANGE" so I get a feeling that we could screw something
up. If anyone is willing to conduct this experiment then I would be very
greatful :-)
Good luck everyone.
