Greg2 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't believe that you can delete files from within aspell, however you can manually edit the file. You should be able to find the file location with aspell config personal-path then edit that file. Here's some info on that file format: Format-of-the-Personal-and-Replacement-Dictionaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Bergen Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 That would be adding the word to your personal dictionary. Wouldn't be simpler to right click the word and in the pop up choose add to dictionary? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Thank you Greg. I found the offending file(s) and as there seemed to be quite a few bad words I decided to re-install aspell after deleting the personal directory. Ken I understand what you are saying, but, in the first instance if there is a misspelled word in a dictionary then it will never be highlighted. I also use the same dictionaries when spell-checking rather large text files and if there are bad words in the dictionary then they will remain in the document. Thank you for the suggestion any way.
