I was just wondering if there's a simple way I can import my autocorrect entries from Microsoft word into open office, as I have cerebral palsy and I use autocorrect as an adaptive tool and I don’t want to enter all of the entries again.
all your autocorrect entries are contained in the files acor_.dat, acor_en-GB.dat, acor_zx-HK.dat etc, the path to which is listed under tools -> options -> openoffice.org -> paths. those files are indeed zip archives, so you can change their extension to .zip and browse their contents. in such an archive, find the file DocumentList.xml and open it as a text file. you will see your autocorrect entries for the respective language in xml format. if you have a list of all your autocorrect entries for ms word, you may add them all simultaneously using find-and-replace facilities of openoffice writer or ms notepad. as for obtaining the mentioned list of ms word's autocorrect entries, see word's options -> paths to know where word stores them. unfortunately, i don't have word at hand now and thus can't give further advice. i can check word's storage style tomorrow at work and write back with more details. ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
