Hi Richard, Run OpenOffice and open Tools>Extension Manager so then click 'Add' and directly point to the downloaded file. It should install the extension into OO.

I performed your suggestion. When I restarted OpenOffice I received a updated extensions available message. I downloaded dict-en-20220601_aoo.oxt. Win10 placed file in Downloads folder. Looks like a new dict file or possibly an executable. What's next. BTW I'm no software expert, but retired network engineer 20 years ago. I'm still able to stumble around and get the job done. So in jest KISS.
