Re: Missing Aspell ?
Thank. Yes I am on XP Home. For some reason I have been forgetting to specify this in this thread. I simply installed ASPELL and ran a reconfigure. Spell checker seems to be working now. Do you think that I should reinstall anyway in case I am missing some functionality that I have not noticed is missing? I have noticed that I seem to be missing the phvr8t font when I try to output a tufte-book document to dvi although the document exports to pdf with no problem and I am not clear if this could be an installation problem or just a tufte- book peculiarity as tufte seems to be in flux at the moment.

Missing Aspell ?
I just installed Lyx on a little netbook and seem to have lost my spellchecker. When I spell check I recieive an error message and when I check under Tools Perfernces the spell checker panel which reads Aspell is greyed out. I am correct in assuming that I need to install Aspell and reconfigure? Thanks __ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/
Re: Missing Aspell ?
I am assuming you are using Windows with the latest version of LyX (1.6.5-1). Go to Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features on Windows Vista) and see if Aspell 0.6 Dictionary (Language: your language) is on the list. There should be one entry for each language you've installed. If it is not (that is, no dictionaries are installed, or someone is missing), just run again the LyX Installer. It will ask if you want to reinstall LyX or just install new dictionaries. Uncheck the box to reinstall LyX and select the dictionaries you want to download/install. Hope it helps. PS: Next time, don't forget to say what OS and LyX version you are using. :-) Regards, --- Diego Queiroz On Sun, Dec 20, 2009 at 1:17 PM, John Kane jrkrid...@yahoo.ca wrote: I just installed Lyx on a little netbook and seem to have lost my spellchecker.
