Default Dictionary

I am looking for a solution to use the existing word captured in the dictionary. Currently the spell check validates the correctness of the word already used but it does not populate the help for auto complete when you use the already captured word in the new document.
Please guide how to enable it.

I assume you mean DSpellCheck Plugin for spell checking, because Notepad++ has no built-in spell checking.
You are right, the DSpellCheck plugin does not currently add words to the normal Notepad++ auto-complete list.
However, you can use the DSpellCheck right-click on a partially-written (and thus misspelled word) to complete it the first time it’s in your document. And after that, it will then be automatically populated into the auto-complete “word completion” list (as long as you have Settings > Preferences > Auto-Completion set to “Word Completion” or “Function and Word Completion”)
If you want DSpellCheck to attempt to add words to the auto-complete choices (because plugins can append words to those lists), you should check through the DSpellCheck issue list and see if someone has already asked for that feature; and if not, put in the request yourself.

In attempting to duplicate Peter’s results here, I was initially confused because I don’t see spell-check options in my N++ right-click context menu.
I do however, see a “drop arrow” when I hover over a misspelled word:
Clicking that, I get a popup menu with the relevant choices:
I notice in the “DSpellCheck Settings” that the drop-arrow is called the “Special Suggestion Button”:
and that it is a choice between that and “Use N++ Context Menu”.
Peter must have the N++ context menu choice active. -

Yes. That is the default option when you first install DSpellCheck.

Thank you Dear for the exact problem statement and understanding. The suggested methodology is fine. But still my perspective on the matter is as under:Since the word which was earlier used in previous documents are already registered in Dpellcheck dictionary, then it should populate it’s usage in the new document by auto completion mode.
Please help me to register the suggestion in the issue cause list for Dspellcheck plugin to help the community mass users. I am not aware how to register it.
Thanks & Regards -

I’ll guess that you think the the dictionary plugin and the auto-complete native feature are highly integrated and work together. They really don’t.

I earlier said, “you should check through the DSpellCheck issue list”. If you had clicked on the link (the words “DSpellCheck issue list” in my original post or this quote of that post), it would have taken you to the underlying URL https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/issues . From there, you would read through the existing issues, to see if anyone else has requested your feature. If no one else has, you would click the “new issue” button on that site, and type in your feature request there.

Thanks for response.
It is enhancement request to facilitate the end-users the usage of existing captured word in the new document. Currently, the dictionary / Auto complete is created on the fly in the new document.

It is enhancement request
And it was officially made HERE.
But…I don’t think what you want was made very clear there. Perhaps you want to clarify by writing more there, or at the very least linking back here to this discussion.
