Hi, When I check this in FM 2019 and 2020, "potential" is not flagged as misspelled with UK or US English. Your error message is: "You cannot add potential to a dictionary. To add potential to a dictionary, first deselect the corresponding Find setting in the Spelling Checker Options dialog box."
What are your Find settings in the Spelling Options (the options on the left side of the dialog)? Had you changed anything here? What happens, when you change this back to Default?

Does anyone have any advice or ideas? Thanks! TVB ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________ OK, This was happening in FM12 and now with a standalone new install with FM2019, so I give because as a standalone install (it was not an upgrade install), the dictionaries should be new and not corrupted - in theory! The word "potential" is getting flagged as a possible misspelling in my current document set, and based on the section that I am writing currently, it's driving me insane. If I right-click on a flagged instance of "potential," I can select either Learn the Word or Allow in Document and still get the same cryptic message: "You cannot add potential to a dictionary. To add potential to a dictionary, first deselect the corresponding Find setting in the Spelling Checker Options dialog box." What friggin' Find setting? There isn't an applicable one selected. . . it's not a repeated word, etc. Any advice on how to solve this inane problem? Thanks!
