Hi All,

    I have been doing a lot of misspelling in Open Office 2.0.4 (Windows
and Linux both) lately (I went to publik skool and got an A- average too!).
The spell check dialog box is cumbersome to use.

    Would you please consider the Mozilla Thunderbird approach to the
spell check dialog box, where you

1)  have a box to manually enter a word (called "Replace With" in the Thunderbird)

2)  have a button to check the word you just typed in (called "Check Word" in
Thunderbird

This would be of great benefit for the following reasons:

A)  sometimes the incorrect spelling to so wildly misspelled that OO does not
even come close to what you want and you need to try a second again.  Adding the
above to the dialog box will make this process go much, much faster,

B)  the Thunderbird method has really helped my spelling, as I can rapidly take
pop shots at the correct spelling.

I sincerely appreciate your consideration in this matter,

Many thanks,
--Tony
