I recently started using metapad which I love and now have it working with Aspell's \
standard American dictionary.
I can't however, after doing what follows get it to work for British spelling ?
Q: How do I spell check the stuff I write in metapad?
A: Here is a solution (submitted by C.L. Jacobsen):
1.. Download Aspell http://aspell.sourceforge.net/ (There is a windows binary some \
way down the page) 2.. Unzip Aspell into a directory, say C:\aspell
3.. Configure the primary or secondary viewer in metapad to be Aspell:
Primary/secondary external viewer: C:\aspell\aspell.exe
For British spelling:
Args: --lang=british -c
For Default spelling:
Args: -c
4.. Make sure to either select "Prompt to save" or "Automatically save" OR you will \
have to remember to save the file before you spell check it!!! 5.. Now you can \
launch the "viewer" and a window will pop up and check your document, if there are no \
mistakes this window will pop up and then disappear very quickly. After you have \
spell-checked your doc make sure to press reload to reload the file with the \
corrections made. When I enter --lang=british -C and then try to check spelling the \
message on screen (very very briefly) says that it can't find the word list.
My C:\Aspell\dict has ..
american.alias
american-w-accents.alias
british.alias
british-w-accents.alias
canadian.alias
canadian-w-accents.alias
en.multi
en_CA.multi
en_CA-only.rws
en_CA-w-accents.multi
en_GB.multi
en_GB-only.rws
en_GB-w-accents.multi
en_US.multi
en_US-only.rws
en_US-w-accents.multi
english.alias
en-only.rws
located in it.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm and ex-film sound editor (Hollywood and London 30 \
years) now teaching English.
thanks,
Michael
