CocoAspell frustrations
Hi there, dear linguaphiles,
Are any of you familiar with the CocoAspell spell-checking system? I have to use it for a new job, and I can't make it work. Google has failed me too. Boo.
I'm running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I downloaded the latest version of CocoAspell. I followed the installation instructions to a T, and I had no trouble installing the extra dictionary I needed. That said, when I tried to use it, it didn't recognize any misspellings, and when I forced it open with ⌘-shift-: I'm pretty sure it just gave me the normal spell-check window.
I can't find where it's installed on my hard drive either, and I forgot to look when I ran the installation. I thought if I opened the installer again it would help, but it let me see everything but the destination. It skipped that part. Then I thought I'd uninstall it and reinstall it to see if that would help, but I can't figure out how to uninstall it.
If anyone can help or has suggestions where else to post this, I'd be so grateful!
EDIT: With much more Google searching, I found that one must double click the icon in System Preferences after installing dictionaries. Weird.
