OK, on all my machines there are extension dictionaries located at /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/ lightning ~ # ls /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/ dict-en.oxt dict-es.oxt dict-fr.oxt When I first searched for who put them there equery doesn't seem to tell me what package they come from: lightning ~ # equery belongs /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt in *... ] lightning ~ # But this is a 64-bit system and /usr/lib is a link to /usr/lib64. When I use that path it says OpenOffice provided them: lightning ~ # equery belongs /usr/lib64/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib64/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt in *... ] app-office/openoffice-bin-3.0.0 (/usr/lib64/openoffice/share/extension/install/dict-en.oxt) lightning ~ # QUESTION TO ALL: Is this is equery bug that it doesn't trace links or is there an option somewhere to tell it to do that? (Not reading the man page right now) Hopefully you can do a search for dict-en.oxt and find your copy but if it's really not there and you cannot find it on some other machine then there does seem to be another possibility. It you start OOwriter and go to Tools->Extension Manager then I see a link in the bottom left that says 'Get more extensions here'. Clicking on that took me to the OpenOffice web site and there you can find a search bar on the left. If I type 'English Dictionary' or US English' and do the search I come up with a number of options I can download. I haven't tested it but I suspect that you save them somewhere and then load them in the Extension Manager to make them active. I don't know how those dictionaries differ from the one supplied with openoffice-3.0 I see lots of other dictionaries, as well as page formatting templates and stuff for calc. Maybe those will be of interest also. Note that new extensions do not seem to become active until you close and restart writer. Hope this helps, Mark
