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 David On 6/21/06, Stephen Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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
