Is there a wrong way to take a request for help?  ;)

I'll be happy to do what I can if you can tell me where and/or how to look.  I fired up my ubuntu 
box again, and the best I could find was a list of files in the various language packs, and a 
number of .deb files which dpkg -l refused to do anything with.

On my Mac box I have apparently moved or even re-moved the packages I downloaded.  I have, however, 
opened /Preferences/Language Settings/Writing Aids, and all I can find under User-defined 
dictionaries are:

AM-english [English (UK)]
Personal English [English(UK)]
Personal Swedish [Swedish (Sweden)]
standard [All]
oracle [All]
soffice [All]
IgnoreAllList [All]

I have earlier been told that the Chinese language pack does not include a dictionary, which 
perhaps explains the lack in this list.  But it does not appear that I have loaded a Finnish 
dictionary.  Come to that, the Swedish one appears to be a Personal dictionary, which I assume to 
mean it consists of words that I decide to add if the search can't find them.

Actually I'll d/l the Mac versions from the LibO site and see if I can expand them and let you 
know.  And I daresay I can d/l the linux versions, too, and see if there is any difference.
