I notice, just looking at total memory consumption, that the first right click on a misspelled word results in a loss of 4 meg of RAM (round numbers). Anyway, the workaround: open /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst in a text editor and delete or comment out all the lines that refer to dictionaries that you are NOT intending to use. Also delete the irrelevant HYPH and THES lines. My dictionary.lst file looks like this: DICT en US en_US HYPH en US en_US THES en US th_en_US Hope this helps, -P
