Re: [orca-list] openoffice spell checking

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Daniel:

I ran into this recently and I was able to resolve it as follows as of 
about 5 minutes ago on my OpenSolaris 2008.11 box.  It's a bit convoluted:

1) First, find the dictionary:

wwalker laptop:~$ find /opt/openoffice.org* -name \*oxt
/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install/dict-fr.oxt
/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt
/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install/dict-es.oxt

2) Then, add the dictionary using the "Add..." button available from the 
dialog you get with the Tools -> Extension Manager... menu option. 
Choose the desired *.oxt file you found in step #1.

In my communications with the OOo engineers on this matter, the problem 
appears to be how OOo was installed.  If OOo was not installed using the 
OOo installation program, then I guess the dictionary is not installed 
properly.
