You shouldn't have to add the hyphen file anywhere because it already comes with 0.5.2. (for en_US and en_GB) You should be ready to go with the stock install. I think you might be talking about clicking the "Open User Dictionary Location" button. Which is supposed to take you to the Appdata folder. That's its function.


Of course it does. It's supposed to be there. That's where the user dictionary (user_dict.txt) lives.
Did a complete uninstall then re-installed. En-GB selected from drop-down.
Test ran a file putting underlined words in user-dict.
Checked Appdata folder - only user-dict in there.

I misunderstood earlier threads thinking I had to copy desired dictionaries into Appdata folder.

Now only the user-dict is in there - albeit starting from scratch again.

Everything is now working fine.

Many thanks for your help/advice and of course your patience
Everything seems to be working fine now
