Older versions of LyX1.3.7 use the older aspell_install.exe (0.53) and the dictionary in your language that matches with the older version of aspell. http://aspell.net/win32/ I think I haven't seen an official standalone release of Aspell .064 and I'm not quite sure what comes with http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 Anyway, for other applications, I think you may need the earlier Aspell 0.53 and its dictionary in your language. No conflict. ------------------------------------------------- http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX137#changelog_18jan06 17 March 2006 Changelog mentioning Aspell * Fixed many of the irritating little problems to do with "lyxrc.defaults", "path_prefix" and the Windows Installer. * Update to the latest and greatest version of the Q../Free library. * Update to the latest and greatest version of the Aspell spell checker library.
