frustrating spellcheck setup..abiword missing, pidgin & gedit OK

I've been trying to figure out how to set up the spellchecker in abiword, and even tried downloading ooffice in hopes of it working.

I have all aspell and aspell-en files installed, I even copied over the aspell /usr/lib/aspell folder into /usr/share/enchant/

because I was under the impression abiword looked there for dictionaries...

But still no spellcheck!

Abiword in set language shows a large list of languages ...
In Gedit & pidgin where the spellcheck works fine, gedit shows only a few enlish languages in the set language..
Maybe this is a hint ?

Hope someone can help,

Re: frustrating spellcheck setup..abiword missing, pidgin & gedit OK

I just recently installed Abiword myself, so I checked to see if I had the same problem. It all looks like it is working fine to me, all I did was make sure that aspell and aspell-en were installed.

One thing that I noticed is that "Check Spelling" is not active in the menu unless you have typed some words. Can you confirm that the option is unavailable even when you have an open document with text in it?

Well since fiddling around with aspell, and installing latex and messing with those settings, all of a sudden spell check seems to work in everything..

thanks anyways smile
