I have been using OOo since the beginning, currently runing under Windows XP, and have noticed that in version 3.0 that we now use "extensions" for our dictionaries instead of standalone Dict files as before.

Extensions seem to be an improvement in that one does not have to copy, in my case the Australian English dictionary, across every time one installs a new version of OOo. When I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 just now, and tested my spell checker in Writer, it still picked up "color" as a misspelled word and suggested "colour". So, that is great, and makes updating OOo a breeze.

For my education, I would be very much obliged if someone in this forum could explain to me what and "extension" is, how it works, and any advantages, other than those already described above.

Many thanks, James
