[libreoffice-users] problem spell check dictionaries c/n/b installed.. LO

dictionaries will not attach to the spell checker message in writer.  
Spell checker c/n be activated by checking it in the menu.  When clicked 
on in the menu drop down the checkeer checked the document and found no 
spelling errors, but w/o a directory to check spelling against it found 
no error; and there were many errors to be found.

no matter what I do, I cannot get the add to dictionary to add a 
dictionary  of any kind
each click to add to dictionary.. returns  "spell check complete".. and 
drops me out to the document.

how can that be fixed?  Is this a permissions problem of some kind?
