OK I finally located the spell checker settings in;
includes/FCKeditor/editor/dialog/fck_spellerpages/spellerpages/server-scripts/spellchecker.php

I changed the following to use my servers installation of Aspell

Code: $aspell_opts = "-a -H"; //-a option to pipe and -H is HTML $aspell_prog = '/usr/bin/aspell';

So one thing remains - where the heck do I turn it on?

Sorry - I haven't even tried playing with that... I'll see what I can find out.

No rush as I'm off to Germany very soon for some R&R and a glass of beer (well it might be the one glass but I'm not sure how many times it will need a top-up).
I just thought I would have a play with it as it might be useful for those that want a spell checker instead of using some ancient add-on.

Any more progress on the spell checker ?

The latest version has the spell checker built in but I'm not sure how many languages it supports.

I just checked the drop down - 16 languages and dialects (e.g. Canadian English, Brazilian Portuguese)
