      These two have to be installed, so that Aspell works:

      GNU Aspell 0.50-3 . . . Aspell-0-50-3-3-Binaries-Setup.exe
      Aspell English Dictionary-0.50-2 . . . Aspell-en-0.50-2-3-Word List.exe

      I put Aspell in the Notepad++ sub-directory, but that doesn’t enable Aspell to be portable . . .
      ie. After I updated Notepad++ with Aspell, and moved it to a USB flash drive,
      I de-installed the above two exe,
      put Notepad++ back on C:,
      and Aspell no longer worked

      Is there a way to make it portable? I get it to work by going through these three:

      Confusion question: Aspell vs. DSpellCheck

      I don’t think that DSpellCheck comes installed on NP++ by default.
      Maybe I installed it through the Plugins Manager a while back.
      I no longer see it in my new, current install.

      This is a setting that I had changed:
      Plugins / DSpellCheck / [un-check] Spell Check Document Automatically

      It doesn’t look like I need DSpellCheck in order for Aspell to run.

      Is Aspell better than DSpellCheck?

        I see that Aspell is not portable - in either the PortableApps or native version of NP++

        DSpellCheck is a different spell checker.
        DSpellCheck is portable in both the native and PortableApps version of NP++ - but it’s not as good of a spell checker
        . . . Keep DSpellCheck installed, as a backup, portable spell checker

        Can Aspell be made portable?

        Is there another spell checker like Aspell that is portable?
