The solution is to copy the preferred AutoCorrect file -- I used
..LibreOffice 3\Basis\share\autocorr\acor_en-GB.dat -- to (Win XP):

... Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application
Data\LibreOffice\3\user\autocorr\acor_en-CA.dat

It does not seem to matter if the acor_en-CA.dat (which was a copy,
anyway) remains in the
..LibreOffice 3\Basis\share\autocorr\  directory.
