    I have the spellcheck plugin (in the plugin directory) and Aspell (as a free-standing program) installed. However,when i invoke the spellchecker, i get the error: GNU ASpell or its dictionaries missing !!
    Should I install Aspell somewhere inside notepad++ itself? Can anybody shed light on what i am missing? Thanks.

        Thanks, guys. That sure helped. I thought the English dictionary already came as part of the installer, bot apparently not!

          To get the Spell checker to run & find dictionaries you may need to set a new environment variable named 'ASPELL_CONF' to the path Aspell was installed to.

          HowTo ... right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced --> Environment Variables --> System Variables - click new. The path is generally 'C:\Program Files\Aspell'

          FYI - the dictionary install file need to be run locally. It won't install if you run it off a network share.

            I am a new-be to Npp and I like it. I would like to set my spell checker but so far I am not successful: I set up the environment as suggested and it still cannot find the dictionary. What I am missing? Any clue?

      Get dictionary what you need from http://aspell.net/win32/ , and install in the Aspell directory .
