Right here. Aspell *does* work for Stephen Harris (from a private post),I'm checking with him and I'll keep devel-list posted.Stephen Harris commented: I've just tested Aspell on another machine with version 17. It worked out of the box. Then I uninstalled Aspell and Lyx 1.3.6Pre and ran the Lyx installation again and the spellchecker didn't work as expected.Then I reinstalled, Aspell, the program first and the dictionarysecond and tested it. It didn't work as expected. Then I did areconfigure, open and close Lyx. The Spellchecker worked. Alsothe Aspell icon on the desktop where you can drag files works,though it saved the corrected file in to the directory from whichI copied it. Aspell apparently doesn't catch words that areonly legal if they are contractions: it didn't catch theres or suggest there is, theirs, or there's.I couldn't make it not work. Could there be another Aspell.exe on Jean-Pierre's machine? I am not sure what would cause this.Maybe right-click the Aspell desktop icon and click on Properties and see if the link points to C:\Aspell\aspell.exeRegardsStephen
