<!-- This one might need a paragraph of its own) -->
<para>(If you do not have <application>Ispell</application> installed you can obtain it from the <ulink url="http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html">International ISpell home page</ulink>. ASpell is available from the <ulink url="http://aspell.sourceforge.net/">ASpell home page</ulink>.) </para>
<sect1 id="general-use">
<title>General Use</title>
<para><anchor id="spelldlg"/> The top line in the dialogue displays a possibly misspelled word which was found in your document. &tdespell; attempts to find an appropriate replacement word. One or several may be found. The best guess is shown to the right of <guilabel>Replacement:</guilabel>. To accept this replacement, click on <guibutton>Replace</guibutton>. You may also select a word from the list of <guilabel>Suggestions</guilabel> and then click <guibutton>Replace</guibutton> to replace the misspelled word with the selected word.</para>
<para>To keep your original spelling, click on <guilabel>Ignore</guilabel>.</para>
<para>To stop the spell checking -- keeping the changes you've already made -- click on <guibutton>Stop</guibutton>.</para>
<para>To stop the spell checking and cancel the changes you've already made, click on <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>.</para>
<para>Clicking on <guibutton>Replace All</guibutton> will initially perform the same function as clicking on <guibutton>Replace</guibutton>, but will automatically replace the misspelled word with the chosen replacement word, if it appears again (at a later point) in your document.</para>
<para>The <guibutton>Ignore All</guibutton> button ignores this and all future occurrences of the misspelled word.</para>
<para>Clicking on <guibutton>Add</guibutton> will add the misspelled word to your personal dictionary (this is distinct from the original system dictionary, so the additions you make will not be seen by other users).</para>

<title>Dictionaries</title>
<para>You can choose the dictionary to use for spell checking from the list of installed dictionaries.</para>

<sect1 id="encodings">
<title>Encodings</title>
<para>The most commonly used character encodings are: <variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>US-ASCII</term>
<listitem>
<para>This is the character set used for English text.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>ISO-8859-1</term>
<listitem>
<para>This is used for Western European languages.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>UTF-8</term>
<listitem>
<para>This is a Unicode encoding that can be used for almost any language, if your system has the necessary fonts.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<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 <guilabel>ISO-8859-1</guilabel> is selected, but accept email-style character combinations (like <literal>'a</literal> for an accented <literal>a</literal>) when <guilabel>US-ASCII</guilabel> is selected. Please see your dictionary's distribution for more information.</para>

<sect1 id="spell-checking-client">
<title>Spell-checking client</title>
<para>You may choose to use <application>Ispell</application> or <application>Aspell</application> as the spell-checking backend for &tdespell;. <application>Ispell</application> is more widely available and may have better international support, but <application>Aspell</application> is gaining popularity as it claims to give better suggestions for word replacements.</para>

<para>It is recommend that you do not change the first two options unless you have read the International <application>ISpell</application> man page.</para>
