MaryEF: Added title tags to question and partial answer to first question

== Installation Instructions ==

This page really needs instructions on how to install these dictionaries, or a link to such a page.

'''Ans''' part 1. Use the dicoo wizard (see note below on errors). This will install them in the correct place for you. Alternatively, dictionaries should go in <OOo>/share/dict/ooo, where <OOo> is your Open Office program files, and you need to manually add using Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing aids. --[[User:MaryEF|MaryEF]] 11:01, 8 July 2007 (CEST)

'''Question 2''': Can anyone provide answer as to how to add the thesaurus - I have not had any success on this bit? --[[User:MaryEF|MaryEF]] 11:01, 8 July 2007 (CEST)

== What is the point of these dictionaries? ==

: Language is a propery of characters. Also, there's a global document language in the options dialog.

I've installed OOo 2.0.3 under Windows and then used File->Wizard->Install New Dictionaries

Installation went OK to the finish, but speclchecker can't see any language. Quite a bad experience as for people like me who like open source and free software.

Best regards, user Vak.

== Dictionary source ==

Hi. I'm dying to know two things:
#What dictionaries are being used in OOo (e.g., [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict aspell])?
#If I see a spelling error in the dictionary, how can I report it?
I'd add both these to this article if I knew. Thanks.[[User:Mwtoews|Mwtoews]] 04:35, 26 November 2006 (CET)

: I've added another link the the lingucomponent homepage that described the formats (MySpell/Hunspell)
: Report errors to the creator of the dictionary, to be found in the README.

== DDicOOo wizard errors ==

'''08 July 2007''' Runtime error.
There is an error in either the Polish or Swedish language sections of the DicOOo wizard macro.
When prompted, remove these sections leaving the below and the rest will work fine. If you need Polish or Swedish, you will have to diagnose and fix the error (sorry I don't have time today - probably a missing " or an unexpected reaction to a special character in the languages).
