Available Language Modules Contains the installed language modules. A language module can contain one, two or three submodules: Spellcheck, hyphenation and thesaurus. Each sub-module can be available in one or more languages. If you click in front of the name of the module, you activate all the available sub-modules simultaneously. If you remove a set mark, you deactivate all the available sub-modules simultaneously. If you wish to activate or deactivate individual sub-modules, click the Edit button to open the Edit Modules dialog. The configuration allows for two different directories: one folder where the user has write permissions, and one without write permissions. The user can only edit and delete the user dictionaries that are located in the writable path. Other dictionaries can be read only. Edit To edit a language module, select it and click Edit. The Edit Modules dialog appears.

User-defined dictionaries Lists the available user dictionaries. Mark the user dictionaries that you want to use for spellcheck and hyphenation. New Opens the New Dictionary dialog, in which you can name a new user-defined dictionary or dictionary of exceptions and specify the language. New Dictionary In the Dictionary section you can name a new user-defined dictionary or dictionary of exceptions and specify the language. Name Specifies the name of the new custom dictionary. The file extension "*.DIC" is automatically appended. Language By selecting a certain language you can limit the use of the custom dictionary. By selecting All the custom dictionary is used independently of the current language. Exceptions (-) Specifies whether you wish to avoid certain words in your documents. In this way, you can create a custom dictionary of all the words to be avoided. If this exception dictionary is activated, during spellchecking you receive a corresponding note about any words which should be avoided. Edit Opens the Edit custom dictionary dialog, in which you can add to your custom dictionary or edit existing entries. In the Edit custom dictionary dialog you have the option to enter new terms or edit existing entries. If you edit an exception dictionary, the dialog has the added facility of defining an exception for a word. During the spellcheck this exception is then listed as a suggestion. When a dictionary is edited, a check is made on the status of the file. If the file is write-protected, it cannot be changed. The buttons New and Delete are then deactivated. Book Specifies the book to be edited. The IgnoreAllList (All) includes all words that have been marked with Ignore during spellcheck. This list is valid only for the current spellcheck. The IgnoreAllList entry cannot be selected and cannot be deleted. Only the words included as content can be deleted. This happens automatically each time that $[officename] is closed. Language Assigns a new language to the current custom dictionary. Word You can type a new word for inclusion in the dictionary. In the list below you will see the contents of the current custom dictionary. If you select a word from this list it is displayed in the text field. If you type a word with a trailing = character, such as "AutoComplete=", the word is never automatically hyphenated and no hyphenation is suggested. Typing "Auto=Complete" results in the word being hyphenated, or a hyphenation suggested, where you insert the = sign. Suggestion This input field is only available if you are editing an exception dictionary. The field shows the alternative suggestion for the current word in the "Word" text box. New Adds the word in the Word text field to your current custom dictionary. The word in the Suggestion field is also added when working with exception dictionaries. Removes the marked word from the current custom dictionary. Deletes the selected dictionary after a confirmation, provided it is not write-protected.
