I have the beta-2 on my Mac, and have some 50 dictionaries available - didn't install any. They're the main European languages (English (10 types), Spanish (15+), French, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Portuguese, German and Danish). Is the beta-2 for Mac better equipped for spell-checking than the Windows version? In the OOo folder, I find under contents > share > extension > install: dict-de.oxt, dict-en.oxt, dict-fr.oxt, dict-nl.oxt n the Library > Application Support > OOo-aqua > 3 > user > wordbook I only find a standard.dic So where are the other dictionaries (Spanish, Russian, etc.?) My problem was that the spell checker didn't accept 'skip all' - it stops at every occurrence of a mis-spelled word. I downloaded the m28 today, and there the speller seems to remember to skip when asked to do so. -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 Beta-2 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 Beta-2 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
