Hi, I did these steps to import my Word´s dictionary: I´m using the Brazilian Portuguese version, so the name of the files could be different, but it doesn´t matter too much...
1. I looked for a file called usuarios.dic (perhaps the name is users.dic) in the folder c:\program files\microsoft office\office. 2. Then, I opened this file and copy all the words. 3. I went to the folder: C:\program files\OpenOffice.org 1.9.79\share\dict\ooo I´m using the Open Office version 2.0 (beta) 4. I opened the file en_US.dic with the Open Office. The Open Office asked me the parameters to open the file. I didn´t change any, I just clicked the button OK. 5. I went to the end of file and paste the words that I've copied from my dictionary in Word. 6. I saved the file and close the Open Office, including the quickStarter. I holp these steps help you.
