    information for spell checking and hyphenation (see
    com::sun::star::linguistic2::XDictionaryEntry).
    Only active dictionaries with an appropriate language are used
    for that purpose.
    The entries of an active, positive dictionary are words that are
    required to be recognized as correct during the spell checking
    process. Additionally, they will be used for hyphenation.
    Entries of a negative dictionary are required to be recognized
    as negative words, for example, words that should not be used, during
    SPELLCHECK. An entry in a negative dictionary may supply a
    proposal for a word to be used instead of the one being used.</P>
