<h4><a name="dicooo">*** DicOOo Macro:</a>
Multi-Platform, Multi-Language, On/Off-Line Dictionary Installer</h4>
The macro in <a href="dictpack.html"> DicOOo.sxw</a>,
created by Laurent Godard, is a multi-platform solution for installing dictionaries:
<ol>
<li>on any platform executing OpenOffice.org and with DicOOo.sxw available;</li>
<li>On-Line: install dictionaries from the Internet while connected; or</li>
<li>Off-Line: use <a href="dictpack.html">Dictionary Packs</a> for installation from a local network, hard disk or Community CD.</li>
</ol>
<hr />
<p>We hope that <b>Community distributors</b> will find DicOOo and dictionary packs a useful addition on their CDs.<br />
<br />
Some notes on building or modifying Off-Line Dictionary Packs for your requirements:<br />
This feature is especially dedicated to distributing dictionaries with CDs. An Off-Line Dictionary Pack contains 3 text files and the
included dictionary zip files. The 3 text files describe what the off-line pack contains for each dictionary type:<br />
<ol>
<li>spell.txt: for the included spellchecker zip files. Uses same structure as the <a href="available.lst">http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/available.lst</a> file.</li>
<li>hyph.txt: for the included hyphenation zip files. Uses same structure as the <a href="hyphavail.lst">http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/hyphavail.lst</a> file.</li>
<li>thes.txt: for the included thesaurus zip files. Uses same structure as the <a href="thesavail.lst">http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/thesavail.lst</a> file.</li>
</ol>
Moreover, DicOOo code has been designed to limit the needed modification to the code, to let it start in off-line mode by default.
Users who want to adapt it, have only to focus on two global constants in the LangPack module:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; StartOffLine=0 ; 0/1 to deactivate/activate off-line mode by default<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; NomPackLang="" ; Name of the off-line pack zip file. Relative URLs to DicOOo location are allowed<br />
<hr />
<blockquote>
Tech Notes:<br />
<br />
When finished installing dictionaries, exit OpenOffice.org and exit the QuickStarter if it's running.<br />
Restart OpenOffice.org and navigate to Tools&gt;Options&gt;Language Settings&gt;Writing Aids.<br />
Select your new dictionaries. :-))
