abiword & ispell

[Harvey Kelly <kellyh@clara.co.uk>]

Dear All,

Being a rather late convert to the joys of AbiWord, I've hit a rather
annoying snag...

I've got AbiWord-0.7.14 from Ximian, but it doesn't seem to interact
with a spellchecker.  I have ispell installed (and it's the same when I
tried aspell too) but when I click for AbiWord to check my spelling - it
just tells me the spell checking is complete - even when I ask it spell
check my XF86Config-4 file for example. It never underlines anything in
red either.

I'm running 2.2r3 with the Ximian desktop.

I know this must be dead easy, but how do I get it to work with ispell -
and not to ignore it?

Thanks in advance

Harvey
