after all, robert's problem was solved. he sent me the list of autocorrect entries exported from word, which was in the following format:
Name Value RTF soemthing something False wrod word False and so on, with line breaks as carriage returns and with some entries like :| :| True :( :( True which reduced to something useless during export. to transfer this file to openoffice format, i performed the following find-and-replace operations with regular expressions enabled: replace $ with ~ (took some five minutes without showing progress bar, so i had to be patient) replace ([^~]*~[^~]*~)(True|False)~ with $1\n replace ([^~]*)~([^~]*)~ with <block-list:block block-list:abbreviated-name="$1" block-list:name="$2"/> and then added <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <block-list:block-list xmlns:block-list="http://openoffice.org/2001/block-list"> to the beginning and </block-list:block-list> to the end of the file. then i saved the file as utf-8-encoded text, called it 'DocumentList.xml' and added it to 'acor_.dat' (opened as a zip archive), replacing the old file with the same name. after that, all autocorrect entries started working fine. ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
