This feature depends on the OLE Automation feature of Word and Windows so is not avalable on Linux or Mac version of the spell checker.

This new release does not have any updates on the dictionary as yet. The new version can simply be overwriten on the old one, or can be freshly installed after the old version is uninstalled.
