@Rainer: ah ok (Preferences Menu) -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids does
indeed have the spelling options (in a different layout), thanks.

This is still a usability bug though: 

1) if you know that spelling options are *usually* accessed through Tools ->
Spelling & Grammar..., it is perverse to sometimes hide this info.

2)  as per original report, I looked under Preferences for either a) the
component I was using "LibreOffice Writer", or general settings "LibreOffice".  

I don't remember if I thought of checking if there were other top-level options
(that were, for some bizarre reason, not under "LibreOffice"), and clicked
through to "Language Settings".

Even if I *had* clicked to Language Settings, I'm not sure that "Writing Aids"
makes me think of "Spelling" (which is what it means).

And even if I *had* clicked on Writing Aids, the fact that it's in an entirely
different layout to the dialog I was expecting, and starts with a list of
supported languages, I might have discounted it.

(Bearing in mind that when you're frantically looking for an option, you tend
to ge a little one-track-minded about it!)

Thanks again, H
