It would be helpful to be able to give a custom path to user dictionaries like it can be for templates and the such. This would "allow for out of user directory" custom word lists as well as the potential for a shared dictionary between users/computers. It would also be helpful to be able to select existing dictionaries rather than just create a new one. In the Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids section as well.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
This feature request is still needed as of 3.5.0 beta 2. I downloaded the debs and tried them in Ubuntu 11.10.
I moved the bug back to new, if that was wrong, please set the status accordingly.
I vote for this too.

Guess what? OO.o had it as it should be, until some faggot hadn't broken it in 2.0.4.
(In reply to comment #6) > Guess what? OO.o had it as it should be, until some faggot hadn't broken it in > 2.0.4. Really, is this kind of language needed?
See comment https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=80286&mark=16#c16.
I disagree with some of those reasons. If I'm creating a user dictionary, shouldn't I be able to select where it is stored and read from? I can do the exact same thing with templates. Which is exactly the same sort of issue. And for the comment on the Apache issue about ability to be edited, shouldn't that be decided by the file permissions per se, and not an arbitrary decision by the software?

It's been always possible to set this property, although not from the GUI. But you can always edit registrymodifications.xcu. E.g. I set my dictionary path to my home directory in the example below. <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/org.openoffice.Office.Paths:NamedPath['Dictionary']"><prop oor:name="UserPaths" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item> <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/org.openoffice.Office.Paths:NamedPath['Dictionary']"><prop oor:name="WritePath" oor:op="fuse"><value>$(home)</value></prop></item> Now you can set it up from GUI, too.

Thank you kindly, I found a bug with it, so I'll make a new one for that.
