Howdy,

TeXworks uses the built-in Hunspell spell checker. Follow Bruno Voisin's advice about installing dictionaries. Ans, as he said, it's not (La)TeX aware.

On the other hand, CocaAspell works fine under OS X 10.6 with other applications but you have to set System Preferences->Language & Text->Text->Spelling to the Aspell dictionary of your choice as well as select it in the Spelling pane in one of your Cocoa applications.

Good Luck,
