Do you mean LyX's preferences, under Language Settings > Spellchecker? The
"Spellchecker executable" has the options ispell, aspell, or hspell, and I have
selected aspell. I can't see any option for selecting the native spell checker
here.

Do you mean that words containing these characters will be marked wrong, or
that having them in a document at all will screw up the rest of the document?
If the former, the words marked as "incorrect" do not have accented characters.
In any case, I don't think I have them elsewhere in the document (although I'm
not 100% sure).
Cheers,
Pete.
