How to make spell check operative in abiword?

Asked By christ hilyard 10 points N/A Posted on - 07/16/2012

 

Hi,

I am a user of a byword word processing software. I have completed a document and now I want to spell check it, but by spell checking option is not working. When I try to spell check the document, the following error occurs:

SpellCheckInit: Pspell error: I'm sorry I can't find any suitable word lists for the language-tag "en"

I am also using Kword to process my documents. When I try to spell check the document in Kword, it works perfectly fine. I am not able to find a way out of how to resolve this issue.

Can anybody tell me a solution of how to make my spell check operative in byword? Otherwise it is working perfectly ok.

Looking forward to your replies.

Regards.

Hi Christ, 

First things first. If you want to check the spelling of a document, simply go to Tools > Select Language, and a popup dialog box will appear and then select the preferred language that you want to spell-check with.

After doing so, go to Tools > Check Spelling or press F7.

A dialog box will then appear with all the options that this spelling check has. 

Note : When there's a misspelled word detected, it will be shown in RED, and below the dialog box will be the suggestions available. 

Just continue doing so until you're done with your whole document. Hope this tutorial helps.
