Description

Step 1 - Extract list of incorrect words: 

Once you install this extension, click a "world icon" on standard toolbar or use keyboard shortcut F9 or choose Tools - Macros - Run Macros - My Macros - HelloWorld Library - Module 1- Hello World macro. A new document will open and all mis-spelled unique words will be copied along with suggestions.

Step 2 - Add entries to auto-correct to apply changes:

Keep only the important entries and use Ctrl + Shift + F9 (or run macro "addCurrentList") to add those words  to autocorrect list. Restart Libreoffice, open the original file. Select all text (Ctrl + A), choose Tools - Autocorrect - Apply.

Note: 

1) Applying autocorrect works only if the style is "Default Paragraph" as per this bug...

2) If you get a "missing file" error then you need to add a dummy entry to generate the file. Right click on any mis-spelled word and choose "always autocorrect to..." option.
