You are right. I was able to install both to the same folder c:\aspell and
it Opera and Lyx found the versions they were needing.

I didn't know about the bug in lyx windows that causes Aspell to ignore the
first misspelled word in a document. I was testing it with only one
misspelled word in my sentence.

Thanks for your help

Joost has fixed it so Aspell can be installed where you want it.
Probably available in the next LyX release. You can have two
versions of Aspell installed for LyX, so I don't see why it
wouldn't work for LyX and Opera. The traditional 0.5 should work
with Opera or LyX1.3.7 -- and 0.6 should work with LyX1.4.1 --
they share the same parent folder, C:\Aspell but are installed
in different folders after that with different dictionaries.
They don't conflict for the two LyX versions. I don't have
Opera, but a full path specified to the 0.53 Aspell should work.

Regards,
Stephen
