Dear Marshall, I tried every possible trick with Aspell and CocoAspell, to no avail. The work, but it's like the dictionary is empty. A very bad experience.
There are not enough testers and developers using MacOS X and I think we lag behind in usability. Right now I don't have enough time, But I hope this changes my mid year. Until then, I hope someone gets to the solution. Best regards. ------------------------------------------------- Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 1:49 AM, Marshall Feldman <ma...@uri.edu> wrote: > > I have the same problem on a Mac (Leopard), and I do have admin. privileges. > > Marsh Feldman > > On 2:59 PM, Daniel Ng wrote: >> >> Hi all >> >> >> >> I have downloaded the latest version of Lyx for windows and having >> troubles >> installing the spell checker function on my windows 7 machine.
