To remove that word you can use LyX. In case you are using you have the option to remove it with the context menu. I know that you don't use it and now I can see the need for an interface to remove a previously added word somewhere in the ordinary spellchecker dialog... Currently you have to remove it from the file located inside your home directory below the .lyx folder. It's named e.g. pwl_english.dict. Stephan

Just like pressing Alt-x twice. Vincent
Re: No words in aspell dictionary
Another possibility (which I recommend) is to upgrade to LyX 2.0. It is stable, has a considerable number of improvements, and switches from Aspell to Hunspell on Windows. Paul

(Vista or Win 7 may use different locations.) I'm not positive, but I think LyX may be looking for the dictionary in either C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Aspell\Dictionaries or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Aspell\Dictionaries, depending on whether you installed LyX for just yourself or for all users. So you may want to try reinstalling just the dictionary, being careful to specify the same choice of single user vs. all users that you made when installing LyX. I'm not sure where you got your dictionary. If you got it from the Aspell project on SourceForge, it may only install into C:\Aspell. There are dictionaries intended for use with LyX at http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=12973; I think those will give you a choice where to install them.

I might prefer it took up some of my vertical screen space (fewer lines per page) rather than taking up some of my horizontal space (fewer words per line) But Not so much as to be worth frequent crashes... Besides relocating it isn't the problem. I just want the keyboard shortcuts to work right and especially to be able to dismiss the durned thing with the keyboard, when I'm done spellchecking... But thanks for the suggestion. -- |^^^ ^^^ | Joe (theWordy) Philbrook |^ J(tWdy)P | ___ <>
