    Hello Notepad++ User,

    I finished a new spell check plug-in to find your typos ;). This plug-in is based on GNU Aspell. More informations are available on installation of plug-in.

    Download the plug-in here:

    Best Regards

      I had the 'dictionaries are missing' error until I set an environment variable as the Aspell Readme-win32.txt file suggests. I went into System Properties (right click My Computer, select Properties) and Advanced tab...Environment Variables (this for Windows 2000).
      Set Variable Name: ASPELL_CONF
      Set Variable Value: <path of Aspell folder>

      Mark

        Thanks Mark! That was it!
        It would be nice if N++ stored this info someplace,
        I can't stand env vars pollution...

        I'll have to wrap N++ in a batch file that defines
        the variable for the session.

          I installed the dll in the plugins folder but when I attempt to use the checker a message is displayed that the dictionary is missing.  Where can I find an English dictionary?  The Aspell.net website isn't active.

      Hi

      It is a very good idea to add a spell checker in notepad++ so thanks for your job. Nevertheless nevertheless notepad++ is a text editor to write source code, so it could be very good to be able check spelling only in comment part of the code.

      It could be great too to be able to underline spell error as the today tools do.

      Thanks for your job

      Thanks! Any tips how to run this?
      I placed it in ...Notepad++\plugins\ and it shows up
      in the Plugins menu.

      I installed Aspell and some dictionaries in:

      C:\Program Files\Aspell\
      and
      C:\Program Files\Aspell\dict\

      When I try to use it, I still get the error
      that the dictionaries are missing?

      Help!

      Did you installed it by Aspell installation routine? Did you download the files from

      http://aspell.net/win32/

      For me there are no problems.
      What kind of dictionaries do you installed? What's your OS?

      Best Regards
      Jens
