My 770,000 word version is much, much bigger in the number of words checked.
To add it to your copy of LibreOffice just go to TOOLS and then Extension Manager. There will be an "add" button that you can use to add an extension from a file you have on your computer.
LO will use both, since the included version is "locked", but it seems that the most recently installed versions are used first. I found this out, since my thesaurus "lookups" showed before the included thesaurus's "lookups" in the listing of words.
I do not know if you can do an install for Windows, using the custom install, and not install the included English dictionary and just install your own "external" dictionary extension.

The dictionaries come from many sources, groups, and individuals.

I put out three versions of English:
American English, British English, and Canadian English.

This is the link to the American English dictionary that has over
773,000 words, plus thesaurus.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-plus-tech-words-773407-words.oxt

This is the list of all of the English dictionary extensions I know of.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english

The LO package includes an English dictionary that includes several
different version of English.  Why these versions we combined into one
extension, I do not know.  The big reason for the different versions
[there are over 20 for Spanish], is the fact that we have localized
versions per country or region. America spells "Color" one way, but
British and Canada spells it "Colour". There are many words that are
spelled differently in the USA vs. in England or Canada.  These
differences are why we have localized dictionaries.

"American English 2012 dictionary"?
The only one I know of is shown in the Extension Manager as
       "American English spelling-hyphenation-thesaurus-773407 words
2012.06.24"
That is the one I linked above.

The reason for the 2012 date is due to the fact that June 24th of 2012
was the last modification of that dictionary extension file.

I have not seen an "official" American English 2012 dictionary out
there, as of yet.  But I may update my English dictionaries again before
the year is out.

Where did I get my information - i.e. word list - from?  Well there are
many sources of spelling word lists out there in the electronic ether
and I found them over the years and collected the words into one set of
lists for American, British, and Canadian versions of English.  Back in
the 1980's I did a spell checking dictionary project at a college and
there were about 177,000 words in that list back then,  Now my lists are
all over 600,000 words each.

Hi :)
Yes, sure.  You can save in the newer .docX format, if you want, but then you have all the usual 
problems that come with that.

Tom :)

Hi :)
One of the MS Word ones is what we were looking for.  Is there one that DOESN'T say "template" and 
IS for Word 97, 2000, 2003 or Xp?  Hopefully the list might show the file-ending as .doc
Regards from
Tom :)

         When you save the document, click on 'save as' rather than 'save' -
            when you see the boxes come up, choose the suffix desired, then choose the folder 
desired; simple.

       Ok will try that but can i get a save doc switched over to save as and then choose a better 
format or maybe i ll try all saved as formats ? ?



From: anne-ology [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] <[hidden email]>

         A simple solution is to always use 'save as' rather than 'save' -
             then you merely choose the desired suffix as well as the desired
folder;
         with 'save', the computer does its own thing  ;-)

I strongly recommend some computer crash course. File name associations
are free.  There is nothing hard wired to the system. You can open any
file with any program you want. You can tell your desktop environment
which programs can open which types of files and which single program is
the preferred one to be used on double-click.
First of all, any user who is forced to use MS Windows should turn off
the option to hide known file name extensions. Since Windows '95 this is
the major obstacle which prevents people from understanding their system.
