I am using a Debian binary which has a drop-down where I can select ispell or aspell. However, I do not have a means under Layout/Paragraph to select the language. Maybe this is only available if, as you said, aspell is compiled-in as an option? By the way - the users guide suggests this feature is only possible with pspell. I shudder at the thought of messing with the pspell/ispell/aspell again as I was trapped in a Spellchecker Dependancies Hell for weeks last year after upgrading Ximian Evolution! > > Four ways of working around this problem: > > 1.
