[scribus] Spellcheck in 1.4.4 not working??

[Ian Whitfield]

Thanks Craig!!

Interesting!! - I did what you suggested and loaded the English UK 
Dictionary and now all is working fine (!!??).
I can select either of the two Dictionaries as I wish. So adding another 
Dictionary, or specifically the English Dictionary, seems to have added 
something or "activated" the system!!

My only complaint is that I don't find any way to add words to the 
Dictionary - How do you do this??

I appreciate the help!!
