But it is in the dictionary. At least in some platforms. You didn't say what operating system, you're using, but in some cases (eg on Linux) the dictionary is provided by the Linux distro rather than LibreOffice itself, and is beyond our control..

Hi! They definitely aren't the same. OpenOffice's last major update was in 2014, and development has mostly stopped since then, apart from some minor updates. (It now has unfixed security issues: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... ) LibreOffice has all of these new features, and more...
