I do not know the exact format of your AutoCorrect entries, but on my website 
you can find a small macro that is suitable for importing simple list of 
AutoCorrect entries (respectively dictionary entries), see:

"Wortliste in vorhandenes Wörterbuch übernehmen"
http://www.calc-info.de/makros.htm#wortliste

The import format must be a simple txt file with one word per line, for example:

apple
lemon
orange
Strawberry
...

Yes, 1000 Entries are not a problem.

I do not think that this is the correct statement to promote the development of 
OpenOffice.
If you mean to put pressure on volunteers, please change immediately to libre 
office.
Or do I misunderstand your statement?



Greetings,
Jörg
