          Thanks.

          I checked available, but did not have to install it again. I guess it was disabled as part of the version upgrade.

          Much appreciated.

                Hi,

                I now see spell check is not working with UPPER CASE terms. I have tested this with both lower case and UPPER CASE words.

                Does the spelling plugin also check UPPER CASE terms?

                Thanks,
                -SHD

                    Have a look at the settings dialog of DSpellCheck, especially to the Ignore Words options. You can find them under (menu) Plugins -> DSpellCheck -> Settings... -> (register) Advanced -> (group box) Ignore Words. Ensure that option All Letters Capital is unchecked.

                      Thank you.

                      The box was indeed checked.

                      Problem solved.

                      I appreciate your kind assistance.

                        Good Morning,

                        I upgraded Notepad++ today. The spell check is not working automatically anymore. I click the button to Spell Check Documents Automatically to turn spell checking off and on, and the misspelled words are indeed found. I also use the /menu/Plugins/DSpellCheck/Find Next Misspelling and the misspelled words are indeed found. However, the misspelled words are not found as I am typing.

                        What do I need to do to enable the misspelled words to be discovered as I type, please?

                        Thanks,
                        -SHD

                                Hi, question about DSpellCheck. Is there a way to run spell check so one is presented with a replace option such as F7 in MS Word?

                                  I take it there is no way to run spell check in this manner. Do I hold the correct understanding?

                                    Don’t know - I’m not using MS Word so I can’t say for sure what it is providing.
                                    I would guess if you can add a screenshot or a more detailed description what you
                                    want to have then one who uses DSpellCheck might be able to answer more easily.

                                    Btw. a screenshot must be uploaded to an hoster like imgur … and embedded here using

                                      I believe the poster is after a replace-on-misspelled word function.

                                      Think about Notepad++'s Replace button functionality, but where the Find what is the next sqiggly-underlined misspelled word. :)
