FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not have the premium SoftMaker dictionaries normally included in SoftMaker Office. Only Hunspell dictionaries can be used here.
Hunspell dictionaries for English and German are pre-installed. In this section, you'll learn how to download and install additional Hunspell dictionaries as required.
In addition to SoftMaker dictionaries, SoftMaker Office for Windows, Mac and Linux also support the use of Hunspell dictionaries. These dictionaries are available as free downloads. Most of them were created by private users or non-profit organizations.
Hunspell dictionaries are available for numerous languages. If you can't find a dictionary for a language in SoftMaker Office, it's worth checking if a Hunspell dictionary is available for it.
A list of all Hunspell dictionaries available for SoftMaker Office can be found in the "Downloads" section of our website www.softmaker.com. There, you can also download the dictionaries free of charge.

| 2. | Select "Downloads" from the website menu, and then click on "Dictionaries". |
| 3. | Your browser now displays a page with a list of all Hunspell dictionaries supported by SoftMaker Office. Download the desired dictionary. |

| 8. | A file dialog appears. Use it to navigate to the folder where the downloaded dictionary has been stored. |

The dictionary is now installed and will be available from now on in any SoftMaker Office application.
