Hello all, Although Spell Checker is working for most of us, everyday I see that one or more of the three engines (SSCE, CSAPI and Hunspell) is not working for some.
The SSCE engine is the one that has always been included with TB and the SSCE languages (dictionaries) in the Pro version and International Pack. TB has always (or at least since a long time ago) supported CSAPI spell checker and languages from MS Office 97. My understanding is that only Office 97 engine and dictionaries can be used, but I am not 100% sure about this. Now, the latest release (actually since 4.0.0.17 ALPHA) also supports the Hunspell engines and dictionaries and the fact that you can select and use two or more languages simultaneously, and from any of the three engines (See All_DICs.png) One important thing to understand and remember is that you do not select 'dictionaries' for spell checking, you select 'languages'. And that if there are dictionaries for that language from different engines, they will all be used. In this case, the rule is: as soon as a word is found correct by one of the dictionaries, it is considered correct (even if another dictionary wouldn't consider it as correct). Because of this is why I made a comparison of the Spanish and Britis English dictionaries for the three engines. You nay have seen my <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in which I compared the Spanish dictionary of the three languages. That obviously meant that I had the three engines running. Currently I have four languages installed: America English (SSCE) British English (SSCE) Spanish (CSAPI) Italian (Hunspell) As you can see in All_Dics.png I can even select and use them simultaneously, and they do work. But to "prove" that the three engines work and they all find misspelled words and suggest corrections, I have also attached a screen shot of each. You can see the language being used in the status bar and the suggestions for a misspelled (in that language) word. Mainly because of the limitation in the size of attachments that can be sent to the list, and perhaps for the sake of clarity, I will follow up with three more messages (parts 2 to 4) explaining my set-up for each of the engines. If this and following messages helps just one of you to get your spell checking to work, I'll be happy :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.
