First make sure you have turned on Visual Assist X’s spell checking, and select a color, or colors, that show up well on your background:



With spell checking turned on Visual Assist X will spell check both your comments and literal strings. Visual Assist X ships with an American English dictionary, so you may want to download and install additional dictionaries. Simply download the dictionary, or dictionaries from here:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries

Extract and copy the dic and optional aff files to the Dict subdirectory. For WinXP use the subdirectory:

C:\Documents and Settings\ <USERNAME> \Application Data\VisualAssist\Dict\

For Vista and Windows 7 you need the subdirectory:

C:\Users\ <USERNAME> \AppData\Roaming\VisualAssist\Dict\

If there is more than one dictionary installed then Visual Assist X will use all of them, allowing Visual Assist X to spell check comments in multiple languages.

When a spelling error is underlined simply right click on it to see a list of suggestions.


Underline Mistyped Symbols underlines any symbols that Visual Assist X does not recognise, so you can correct this problem, for example a simple typo, without waiting for the next compile and run cycle to pick it up.

No suggests are offered when right clicking on underlined symbols.
