"Exporting" the Word List from a User Dictionary

When spellchecking a document, you have the option of adding unrecognized words to a user dictionary. The default user dictionary is standard.dic. If you want to export these words, you can do so as follows:

  • Locate the dictionary file. It can be found at the following path ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-2.2/user/wordbook/standard.dic where ~ is your home folder.
  • Copy this file to the desktop or another location
  • Edit the name of this file (the copy) so that the extension reads .txt
  • Open this txt file in NeoOffice. (if asked which filter to use, chose UTF)
  • You will see a list of words separated by # characters. You can use a global search and replace to format the file as you need to.
  • You may also need to remove some hard page returns.

does NeoOffice read the Mac OS X user dictionary, or just regular dictionaries? DictEdit
