[Sheflug] abiword & ispell

[Harvey Kelly <nospam [at] clara.co.uk>]

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble with the spell-checker on AbiWord.  I'm using 0.7.14-ximian that I got off a Debian update disk, and Ispell is the spell-checker installed.  However, AbiWord doesn't check spelling as I type (and yes, it's *enabled*) and when I click on to the options ( Tools -> Spelling -> Spelling ) I get told that The spell checking is complete.  Under Tools -> Preferences -> Spelling everything seems okay, except that the Custom Dictionary and Dictionary are greyed out.  I used Ispell manually to check a couple of things and that works fine - but not in AbiWord.  I installed KWord to check - and yup, Ispell works fine with that.

Please help lil' ol' me.

Thanks

Harvey
