also doesn't seem to work
using OOO 3.3.0.
does seem to be working now
not sure if it's because the computer has been restarted or not tho. could've possibly been working earlier, I was expecting it to show up as an additional dictionary, but it seems to have merged with one of the default ones instead.
Doesn't Work
At least not on Ubuntu 10.4 / OOo 3.2. Installed the extension, re-started OOo and pulled up a sample document; pretty much every word was flagged as miss-spelled. Even tried re-booting the system. Same results. Disabling the extension reverts back to default spell-check behavior. Language settings are whatever the standard English(USA) Ubuntu/OOo defaults are.
Kind of surprised this extension is broken given all the Linux/open source stuff listed on e-medtools.com. I see there's a plain text file containing the OpenMedSpel words ; seems like there ought to be a simple way of getting OOo to incorporate user-specific word lists. Where is this documented?
