"Error Opening a Dictionary"

[thepuma]

I cannot seem to get the dictionary to work. When I open Preferences, I get the error message, "Error Opening a Dictionary".

I tried downloading the latest dictionaries and installing them, but that didn't work.

I've had a similar problem. When I encounter a misspelled word that I want to add to the dictionary, it gives an error message. I think I tried re-installing or something once, but I can't really remember, but it still didn't work.

I have version 4.7.3. Is there a more recent version and is it free?

Thanks.
