FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not have the premium SoftMaker dictionaries normally included in SoftMaker Office. Only Hunspell dictionaries can be used here. For more information, see Installing Hunspell dictionaries.
If you have multiple dictionaries installed for a language (for example, a SoftMaker dictionary and a Hunspell dictionary), you can always choose which of these dictionaries to use for that language. To do so, proceed as follows:
| 1. | Choose the ribbon command File | Options  for the dialog box and switch to the Language tab. |
| 2. | Click on the Hunspell dictionaries button. |
| The program displays the dialog box Dictionaries with a list of all installed languages. On the right side of the list, you can see what type of dictionary the respective language is currently using. |
| 3. | Select the desired language from this list. |
| 4. | Then specify the dictionary to be used for the selected language in the dropdown list Dictionary. |
| Depending on which dictionaries are installed, the list may have the following entries: |
| SoftMaker: The SoftMaker dictionary included in SoftMaker Office |
| Hunspell: Freely downloadable Hunspell dictionary, see previous section |
| Duden: The official Duden dictionary (only included in SoftMaker Office Professional and NX Universal, only available in German). For more information, see below. |
From now on, the spell check will use the selected dictionary for the specified language.
Use Duden Korrektor for German spell check
For users of SoftMaker Office Professional and NX Universal, an additional option is also available:
If you enable the option Use Duden Korrektor for German spell check in the dialog box Dictionaries, the dictionary for all variants of the German language (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc.) will be set to the corresponding Duden dictionary.
The dropdown list Dictionary will then be disabled for all these languages.
This option can also be found under the same name in the main dialog box of the ribbon command File | Options (on the Language tab) and has the same effect.
