Hello MAU,

Yes I appreciate the potential problems but only did this to see if the problem
was external to the program or The Bat directories. I totally agree, very
risky and not something I would normally do. I have some 30 years computer
experience and although way out of date in programming I understand the
implications. What concerned me was the fact that others said they had no
problems with spell checker yet there are some, a few it seems, like me having
real problems.
Not yet reviewed the change history but thanks for the link, will read that.
I should add that I am very new to The Bat having only recently bought the Pro
version so I am learning slowly. I do find it interesting to follow and test
beta versions and realise they can be confusing and introduce new problems.

You are not wrong and the above made me try a different approach as you
suggested.
As you say I had both Hunspell and SSCE loaded.
To make a clean start I renamed the Hunspell dll to make it inoperative and
then deleted all the SSCE language files (I have The Bat pro) and then repaired
using ver 4.0.11 msi to reinstall them, which it did.
Testing the spell checker with SSCE only, resulted in same error - no checking
or red underlining except it flagged any word containing numeric and alpha
mix.. Removing the option for ignoring stopped those so something is working
as it reacted to this option setting.
Essentially, SSCE does not work to check spelling wrong words.
You asked about options, I tested before using those you used but since have
tried different combinations. Same result - no spell checking so the bug,
whatever it is, lives in SSCE5532.dll as supplied in latest version release.
OK, now renamed SSCE5532.dll to make it inoperative and reset the Hunspell.dll
to work.
Great, as you predicted, it works and although I have not tried many options or
words it is more than satisfactory for my needs.
Thank you for getting me this far.
Whilst this sorts out the immediate need it does still remain that SSCE5532 doe
not work.
Can you confirm that SSCE works for you in isolation (no Hunspell) as it is
very strange indeed.
Thanks again, your help has been very much appreciated and I hope the SSCE
problem can be found and resolved.
