“Exporting” the User Dictionary

When spell-checking 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 or ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-3.0/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.
