When I try to run the spellchecker the following error appears: The Spellchecker could not be started. No word list can be found for the language es_ES. How can I set up this? You can't. LyX-1.6 only supports Aspell which comes bundled with the LyX Windows installer. Next version (1.7 or 2.0) will support Hunspell and thus OpenOffice dictionnaries. Abdel.

Bests Can't help you with this Christian, but I have the same problem on a windows box. I set my language preferences to English (UK) and when I attempt to spell check, get a message that states it can't find a word list for en_US so that's a bit weird. I didn't want to bother anyone with it because I am out of here as quickly as possible. But my version of LyX is 1.6.3 MiKTeX 2.7 So am using word at the moment. Disclaimer [ am not a windows user - just happen to be using it while waiting for a new hard drive to be sent because the one in my Linux box went belly up.] Maybe an answer to you may also help me, though the problem seems different.

If you installed Lyx using this installer: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller You only need to install an aspell dictionary from here: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=9651 otherwise install aspell using this version: http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/AspellData-0.60.4.exe and then install an aspell dictionary. regards Uwe
