<br>
you probably need to download/install some dictionaries. Hopefully <a href="https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/wiki/SpellingDictionaries">
https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/wiki/SpellingDictionaries</a> will help (although some paths may be different for your MiKTeX version).<br>

<p>Hi - does anyone know how to get an English spell-checker running in the tex works editor. I had an old version of tex works as part of an old miktex installation where it had spell-check (very useful!) but in the latest miktex I have downloaded the tex
works editor does not have a spell checker. When you go to “spelling” in the Edit drop-down it says “none” with no option available to choose one. In “preferences” under “spell-check language” again it has “None” with no alternative option to choose.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks very much in advance for any help!<o:p></o:p></p>
