Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 123023
Dictionaries are not found when OO 4.0.0 not installed to C: drive
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:02:03 UTC
I installed 4.0.0 to my E drive. (E:\Documents and Settings\wrigh\Application Data\OpenOffice\) In use (e.g. Writer) all words were flagged as mis-spells. Dictionaries, eg EN_GB.dic, were found in the expected folder i.e. E:\Documents and Settings\wrigh\Application Data\OpenOffice\4\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\sv7bc88.tmp_\dict-en.oxt I found that OO 4.0.0 had created a C: folder C:\Documents and Settings\wrigh\Application Data\OpenOffice\4\user\uno_packages\ and was using it (or some sub folder) for a log file. I copied E:\Documents and Settings\wrigh\Application Data\OpenOffice\4\user\uno_packages\cache + subfolders to C:\Documents and Settings\wrigh\Application Data\OpenOffice\4\user\uno_packages\ Open Office then found the dictionaries and the spellings disappeared. Conclusion: OO 4.0.0 always looks for dictionaries (and possibly other data) in the C: drive Comments: this was an install from scratch. There will be problems if OO 4.0.0 is installed on, say, a SSD drive. I expect this to apply to thesaurus
What are the current settings in: Tools - Options... - OpenOffice - Paths - Paths used by OpenOffice ?
