Revision as of 15:15, 9 December 2006

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


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.

Hi. I'm dying to know two things:

  1. What dictionaries are being used in OOo (e.g., aspell)?
  2. 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.Mwtoews 04:35, 26 November 2006 (CET)
