Hi Olivier,

I'm not sure if this feature works in Ubuntu's OOo,
but in Debian Sarge one can install dictionaries by
simply opening in Writer a template that can be found
at /usr/share/myspell/DicOOo.sxw and following the
instructions.

I tested this template also in Mandrake so I suppose
it is not distro-specific. Too bad it is not well
documented; I discovered it through a Google
session...

Best,
Alex
