| Dictionary Installation Differences between OOo100 and OOo101</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>In OOo100 and before, there were only <em>user</em> dictionaries, therefore, each user would have <br /> |
| to install the dictionaries of their choice in the directory:<br /> |
| c:\Program Files\OOo100\user\wordbook\ or |
| /home/jrandom/OOo100/user/wordbook/</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Network installation by SysAdmin: Linux and Windows</b><br /> |
| By popular demand, in OOo101 (the latest stable release), there is now a shared dictionary location:<br /> |
| <network installation directory>/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/dict/ooo/<br /> |
| so that System Administrators, or root types, can install dictionaries there, that will be available for users to activate <br /> |
| as needed. The process of registering the dictionaries by the SysAdmin is the same, add the appropriate lines to the<br /> |
| <net path>/OOo101/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst in the -net install location. (see Activation)</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Standalone installation by Windows user:</b><br /> |
| The installation for users on standalone boxes remains the same:<br /> |
| Unzip the dictionary of your choice into the directory: c:\Program Files\OOo101\user\wordbook\<br /> |
| then, edit / create the dictionary.lst file in this directory, by adding a line corresponding to the dictionary <br /> |
| you installed, e.g., DICT it IT it_IT (see Activation)</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Standalone installation by Linux user:</b><br /> |
| Since Linux is a multi-user OS, the network install is required for proper functioning.<br /> |
| Unzip the dictionary of your choice into the directory:<br /> |
| /home/jrandom/OOo10x/user/wordbook/ or<br /> |
| <network installation directory>/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/dict/ooo/<br /> |
| then, edit/create the dictionary.lst file in this directory, by adding a line corresponding to the dictionary <br /> |
| you installed, e.g., DICT es ES es_ES (see Activation)</p> |
| |
| <p><b>ACTIVATION of additional dictionaries by all users:</b><br /> |
| Each user now needs to restart OOo (and quickstarter) to force OOo to reparse the lines in dictionary.lst,<br /> |
| then go to: <b>Tools->Options->LanguageSettings->WritingAids</b> and press the <b>"Edit"</b> button.<br /> |
| There, each user, using the pulldown can select their language(s) and enable MySpell spellchecking<br /> |
| by putting a mark in the checkbox. Then, in Language, select the one in which you wish to write and spell check.</p> |
