Previous to this version, I could right-click on a spelling ‘error’ and choose ‘add to dictionary’. In 6.1 it is not in the context menu dropdown, and the option button is grayed in the spelling dialog.
Working here with LO 6.1.4.2 on Win 7 Pro, x64.
What is your OS?
Do you have the “standard [All]” user-defined dictionary enabled in Options→Language Settings→Writing Aids?
@BigRA Linux. Added info to question.
@mike-kaganski It says “standard[English(USA)]” and a few others.
This seems to have been a problem with Ubuntu 18.04 or the kernel version. On my Ubuntu 19.04 installation, the 6.1.4.2 ‘add to dictionary’ function is working.
I had this problem as well with 6.1.3.2.
I went into
“options” in spell check and added my own dictionary–call it anything you like–I used “myinitials-added”. Then I tried spell check again and the “add to dictionary” was no longer greyed out and the word was added. I now have 4 dictionaries listed. The 3 included on installation and “myinitials-added”.
