Add dictionary support to Notepad++

I love Notepad++. It's light-weight, support many languages, has word completion feature and also includes a Spell Checker. So for all practical purposes, it's a functional editor. Having a dictionary support in your editor is always the best thing and it's very simple when it comes to Notepad++. 

It already has a plugin for Spell Checker which you can find under Plugins->Spell Checker ..

All it requires is GNU Aspell and  a dictionary installed on your machine. 

GNU Aspell is a Free and Open Source spell checker. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Main features include 

• possible suggestions for misspelled words 
• supports UTF-8 document encoding
• supports multiple dictionaries. 

Enable Spell checker in four easy steps - 

    1. Download and install Aspell for Windows from http://aspell.net/win32

    2. Now install a dictionary which you can download from the same website.

    3. Notepad++ requires a relative path for aspell-15.dll. Open Plugins->Spell Checker.. A dialog box will open where you can edit the relative path. I have both Notepad++ and Aspell installed in "C:\Programs Files" so I entered the path as "../Aspell/bin"

    4. Restart Notepad++

Bingo! Now if you open Spell Checker, it will show you the list of misspelled words in the current document and possible suggestions.
