I don't know what version of OOo you are using and I don't run it on Gentoo |
| 7 |
now so I don't know if there is anything special, but AFAIK you have to |
| 8 |
*install* the dictonaries from "inside" OpenOffice. |

You can check in your home directory (for me in .000-2.0/user/wordbook) what |
| 12 |
dictionaries are installed. Specialy check the file dictionary.lst: if your |
| 13 |
dictionary is not correctly listed, OOo will not give you the possibility to |
| 14 |
use it. For example, I have this: |

You can either modify this file by hand, or use OpenOffice to install the |
| 36 |
missing dictionaries (these should be a macro for that on their site, or some |
| 37 |
versions had a wizard if I remeber well). |
