Zach has mentioned on the ubuntu-devel mailing list he has not got a
dictionary.lst. I think he needs to install a myspell-dictionary such as
myspell-en-gb, as these refresh the list when installed.

Okay in bug 14663:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8333
It is propsed to create the following symlinks as a workaround:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/myspell/dicts /usr/lib/openoffice2/share/dict/ooo
sudo ln -s /etc/openoffice/dictionary.lst
/usr/lib/openoffice2/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst

For me, the first symlink to /usr/lib/openoffice2/share/dict/ooo is
already there. However there is no dictionary.lst anywhere that I can
find.

I did notice that the openoffice.org2 description suggests installing
myspell-dictionary which doesn't appear to be available. Not sure if
that is related.
