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 and 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 and choose Tools - Autocorrect - Apply.

Note: 

1) Tested using the latest version and language English (USA)

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

3) Need to remove Marathi / Hindi plus add-on if already installed. Only one plus add-on can be installed at any time. (Hindi or English not both)
