How to install spell check in Abiword?

#1 Post by Cookie8 »

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the "how-to" section... But we are newbies. :D
Anyway, the question is: how can we get the spellchecker dictionary for Abiword? We just loaded Puppy and the first time we tried to use Abiword, it refused to spell check--said there wasn't a dictionary.
Thanks!

Go to www.abisource.com/download/abispell.phtml to find a dictionary file for your language. Download it and unzip it into the folder /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/dictionary. My particular Abiword setup has the default language en-US and I have always had trouble getting Abiword to change languages. So I just rename the dictionary file I want to use to "american.hash" and it works fine.
