When I open OO.org and try to install extra dictionaries, I get
prompted for installing a newer version of the OO.org dictionary tool
and a file path prompt opens up, but I haven't got a clue where the
app is supposed to be installed. Nothing in the dialog box that gives
a clue. Any ideas from anyone?

Cheers,

Brian

I'm not a heavy OOo user so I could be wrong, but doesn't it simply pick
up the dictionaries provided by the debian packages? (myspell-*,
openoffice.org-hyphenation-*, openoffice.org-thesaurus-*)

I don't think so, because I can get dictionaries for more languages
through the OO.org dictionary tool. I also am not bothered by being
prompted to install a newer version of the dictionary tool, it just
irritates me that there is no prompt for a default folder. You just
get a dialog box and have to guess.

Cheers,

Brian
