Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 74849
Use remotely cached word completion list
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:36:45 UTC
Add a function to allow a linux OOo word completion list (autocorr?) on a new install of OOo made on a different machine (usually Windows XP). I often install OOo on machines at Internet cafes or offices where I need to continue working on a .doc document. Even when MS Word is available I prefer OOo because its automatic word completion potentially saves me from unnecessary typing and wear on my hands. I would like to be able to specify an ftp account on a remote server, and have OOo periodically upload the latest version of the word list file (maybe this is autocorr). Then I would like to be able to import that into the current word completion list used for a session of Writer on a different machine. Ideally I could have the option of doing this on a per session basis, having the imported file deleted (roll bak autocorr file) because it might well contain sensitive information like client names, etc. If the files are compatible between platforms, at least some information on the site about how to do it manually would be useful at a minimum. Practically I think it must be very hard for most people to do this.
