Hi :) I think i would create a new specialist list and add 2 or 3 words to it. Then look for the file to see what format it uses and then copy&paste tons of words in at a time. For combined words i would add a - in the middle, eg "Eucalyptus-vulgaris" but i think that is a bit of a kludge.
There are probably much more elegant ways which others will probably go into and they may have good ideas about combined words too. Btw i tend to use ' for sarcastic or cynical statements and " for quotes. So "it 'should' work" = it probably wont work but 'experts' say it will.

What became of this? How easy is it to create special dictionaries? Are there any resources regarding their construction? I know you can import 1 by 1 but I have 20,000 items to add. Also are composite words addressed in these dictionaries? I have need for a dictionary that searches for and matches binomials. Say, fictitiously, I have a plant called 'Eucalyptus vulgaris', I want the dictionary to see the binomial not 'Eucalyptus' or 'vulgaris' separately. Both these individual words are quite common but the combo is unique (i.e. their are multiple eucalypts and multiple species with vulgaris as a species epithet). -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper - Open Content Creator Free and Open Source Software Workflow Guides ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction http://www.fossworkflowguides.com GIS Packages http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/gis bash / Python http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/scripting -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
