I guess we'll offer some way to install "personal" dictionaries as a non-privileged user in the future. (This will typically require administrative privileges. However, if you need to add dictionaries, they should be placed in /usr/share/myspell/dicts. On these systems, it is quite likely that appropriate dictionaries are already present, thanks to other programs using the same spell-check engine. Place the *.dic and *.aff files there, and then re-start TeXworks. There should be a dictionaries subdirectory, but it is initially empty. This is automatically created the first time you run TeXworks, and some default resources are copied there. Mac OS Xīy default, the TeXworks resources folder should be located inside the Library folder of your Home (user) folder. ![]() To find the correct folder, use "Help -> Settings and Resources.", navigate to the "Resources" folder given there, and finally put the spelling dictionaries in the dictionaries folder (if it doesn't exist, create it).īy default, the TeXworks resources directory should be located in your "user profile" directory, typically C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\. If you use TeXworks as provided by a TeX distribution, the paths may differ. Note: The paths given below apply to the default configuration of the versions distributed here. The dictionaries are installed in different locations depending on your platform. But I am unable to install the spell checker cocoAspell, which cannot be installed automatically anymore because of notarisation by Apple. Then look under spell check options, writing aids, user defined dictionary, I see with an X check mark, standard English- Australian.

For example in TeXworks one would find the menu Edit>Spelling and after running the above commands there should be an option for US English. Note that TeXworks can only use the spelling dictionaries ( *.dic and *.aff) for each language to get them, rename the downloaded. There is a list of available dictionaries at. One easy source of dictionaries is the project, which uses the same spelling engine. ![]() ![]() Hunspell also supports dictionaries from the older myspell program. The editor uses the hunspell spell-checker more information is available at that project's site. I personally have zero time for hacking projects at the moment but maybe I will be able check it out in a few months. Therefore, if you want spell-checking to be enabled in the editor, you will need to install dictionaries separately. It would be interesting to see if the spell checker in TeXworks could be rebased on Enchant. The TeXworks progam does not currently include any bundled spelling dictionaries.
