    http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/IntlFaqSpellChecking is
    an FAQ on the AbiWord TWiki -- perhaps someone (who knows what they are
    talking about) can fix the page to make it deal with the issues brought
    up here. Or, make (very specific and detailed) suggestions and I can
    attempt to revise the page. Or, start one or more new pages with the
    prefix "IntlFaq" if a different topic name is more appropriate.

    Note: My name is on the bottom of the page as the most recent editor of
    the page, but I did not originate the page, and all I really did was
    some "mechanical" renaming. (By viewing (clicking) r1.1 I see that the
    original author was Jesper Skov.)

    regards,
    Randy Kramer

    PS: To edit the page you will need to register at
    http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration. You
    will have to know your name, make up a wiki name (one will be suggested
    for you), make up a password, know your country, and know your email
    address. ;-)

    You can just type plain text into the edit window and get reasonable
    results. There are markup codes that you can and will learn if you
    continue to work in TWiki, but I can go back and add some markup after
    the fact if that is desired. (So you can just enter plain text.)

    The way I start a new page (usually) is to go to an existing page in the
    right web, like
    http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/IntlFaqSpellChecking,
    then, in my brower's address bar I modify the WikiWord name of the page
    to the name of the new page to be created, like:
    http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/IntlFaqNewPageOnSpellChecking,
    then press enter.

    If the page exists (by chance), the existing page will be displayed, if
    it does not exist, you will be "prompted" to create the new page (just
    click on "create").
