# Spell Checking

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

Create root/affix combinations not in dictionary

Consider run-together words as spelling errors

  If this is selected, than words that appear in the dictionary separately, but have been run together, are considered to be spelling errors. For example, even though alarm and clock might be in your dictionary, if alarmclock is not, it will be flagged as a spelling error.

Dictionary:

  Choose from the available dictionaries, which one to use for &kspell;

Encoding:

  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 Latin1 is selected, but accept email-style character combinations (like `'a` for an accented a) when 7-Bit-ASCII is selected. Please see your dictionary's distribution for more information.

Client:

  You can choose which of the installed client applications on your system to use. `ispell`
