<title>Spell Checker</title>

<para>The configuration options available here are used by all &kde;
applications that use &kspell;, which is a front end to
<command>ispell</command> or <command>aspell</command>.</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Create root/affix combinations not in
dictionary</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>Selecting this option allows the spell checker to register as <quote>correct</quote> combinations of root words with suffixes or prefixes even if the particular combination is not listed in its dictionary database of words.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Consider run-together words as spelling
errors</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>If this is selected, then words that appear in the
dictionary separately, but have been run together, are considered to be
spelling errors.  For example, even though <quote>alarm</quote> and
<quote>clock</quote> might be in your dictionary, if
<quote>alarmclock</quote> is not, it will be flagged as a spelling
error.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Dictionary:</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>Choose from the available dictionaries, which one to use for
&kspell;.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Encoding:</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>You should select the one that matches the character set you are
using.  In some cases, dictionaries will support more than one encoding.
A dictionary might, for example, accept accented characters when
<emphasis>Latin1</emphasis> is selected, but accept email-style
character combinations (like <userinput>'a</userinput> for an accented
<emphasis>a</emphasis>) when <emphasis>7-Bit-ASCII</emphasis> is
selected.  Please see your dictionary's distribution for more
information.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Client:</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>You can choose which of the installed client applications on your
system to use. For example, you can choose <command>ispell</command>.</para>
