# update-openoffice-dicts(8)

rebuild dictionary.lst for OpenOffice.org

## NAME

update-openoffice-dicts - rebuild dictionary.lst for OpenOffice.org

## SYNOPSIS

update-openoffice-dicts

## DESCRIPTION

update-openoffice-dicts can be used to regenerate dictionary.lst for openoffice.  This script is run by myspell dictionaries when they are installed or removed.

It is not normally necessary to run update-openoffice-dicts by hand. Packages containing dictionaries create a file in /usr/share/myspell/infos and call this script automatically.

update-openoffice-dicts will create a new dictionary.lst if it does not already exist.

## FILES

/etc/openoffice/dictionary.lst, /usr/share/myspell/infos/ooo/\*
