I actually don't think so. I just downloaded and installed open office in windows and is the same thing... unless i forgot to load the same "module" on windows. I actually made some test, and MS word did a much better job:
professional OO MS Word proffessional professional professional proffesional N/A professional porffesional N/A professional poffesional N/A professional poffesiomal N/A professional poffesioanal N/A professional offesioanal N/A N/A
If OO uses ispell (I haven't checked it) then this is the default behavior of ispell: <info ispell> If there are "near misses" in the dictionary (words which differ by only a single letter, a missing or extra letter, a pair of transposed letters, or a missing space or hyphen), then they are also displayed on following lines. As well as "near misses", ispell may display other guesses at ways to make the word from a known root, with each guess preceded by question marks. All words for which OO didn't provide an alternative differed by at least 2 letters.
PS as somebody may well point out, thats because MS word is for people with brain damage... but that is a lame excuse.
I think you are right that ispell should be improved. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
