When I started with 3.4 I also had a problem with spell check. There didn't seem to be any dictionaries or synonyms included. As a writer I need both. When I checked my work, I found that words that were spelled correctly had a red underline. What I had to do is build a spell checker by myself. The only suggestion I have for you is to go to the word(s) that have the underlines and right click. When you do that you will find (sometimes) a word or two that has no semblance to the word that you are looking for. Below, almost at the bottom of the list you will find "Add." click on the add and it will ask you if you want to put the word into the dictionary. Say yes and replace the word with your correctly spelled word. In this way the word is then incorporated into your new dictionary. Hope this has been of help.

I don't really trust the work done by distros that explode the initial packages in other sub-packages, that's why I prefer the standard way through a 100% application method.
