Are you sure you have spanish selected as language for the document and myspell-es dict installed? dia gives here as suggestions: odia diga diva diña dial ida da día dio including 'día'. This is done using Debian myspell-es package, which has a more recent dict that the one at the myspell page. The Debian dict is directly derived after the upstream espa~nol ispell dict. I am not sure if this version change makes a difference. > Our method is quite better than the existing one proposed by OpenOffice and > it presents a logarithmic time to retrieve the similar words. > Right now, we would like to contribute and add this data structure to the > open office but I do not have idea about the structure of OO code. May you > help me to do that?. Openoffice uses myspell spellchecker. http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/ There you have some links for contacting the people behind myspell.
