In most (all?) cases of AbiWord on Linux, it uses the Enchant library to
take advantage of your existing system spell checker. This is usually
Aspell. Install or remove dictionaries using the packages provided by
your distribution.
(Oh, and your version of AbiWord is very outdated - an update is
recommended for the latest bugfixes and new features :D )
Hope this helps!
