 <h4>Autosave</h4>
 <p>To let Scribus save your results in regular intervals, you can activate “Autosave” and set the interval in the <a href="settings1.html#2">Document section</a> of the Document Setup/Preferences. In addition to automatically saving your Scribus document, Scribus also creates a copy of the document. The copy’s file name consists of the original file name extended by the extension “.autosave”. Thus, the “autosave” copy of <code>myfile.sla</code> will be stored as <code>myfile.sla.autosave</code>. Should a SLA file have been damaged, you can always remove the “.autosave” extension and then open the “autosaved” version in Scribus. This procedure will give you the latest automatically saved version of your Scribus document.</p>
 <h4>Emergency Backup Files</h4>
+<p>If “Autosave” isn’t enabled or Scribus crashes unexpectedly between two autosave intervals, not all is lost, because Scribus tries to save an emergency backup file before exiting. If this mechanism worked, you will find the emergency backup in the same directory as your saved file with the additional file extension “.emergency”. Thus, the emergency backup of <code>myfile.sla</code> will be saved as <code>myfile.sla.emergency</code>.</p>
+<p>Before you rename an autosave or emergency backup file to a normal Scribus file in the same directory (which would require overwriting/deleting the original, you should compare the file sizes. For instance, if the original file has a size of 5 MB, whereas the *.autosave or *.emergency file is only 40 KB, the mechanism didn’t work as expected.</p>

 <h3>Spellchecking</h3>
 <p>For spellchecking Scribus uses the <a href="http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/">Hunspell</a> library, which is also utilized by other popular programs like LibreOffice, Firefox or InDesign.</p>
 <h4>Configuration</h4>
-<p>Under <i>File > Preferences > Hyphenation and Spelling</i> you find a second tab called “Spelling”. The purpose of this dialog is not the configuration of spellchecking options per se, but the management of available dictionaries.</p>

 <br>
 <table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/hyphen2.png" align="center" alt="Hyphenator Settings Dialog" /></td></tr></table>
 <p>If you have already installed a program that uses Hunspell, like, for instance, LibreOffice, Scribus will try to detect the installed dictionaries and use them. Installed dictionaries will be listed in the left column of the dialog, where you can also see their location. To make proper use of the right column you need an internet connection, because Scribus will download a list of dictionaries available in LibreOffice’s freedesktop.org repository. You can then select one or more new dictionaries for download. Please note that these dictionaries are stored in your home directory or its equivalent under <code>.scribus/dicts</code>, so other programs cannot use them, unless you copy them to the respective system or program directories.</p>
 <h4>Usage</h4>
-<p>Using the spellchecker in its current form can be tricky, especially on UNIX and Linux systems (including Mac OS X), where you have two spellchecking options, namely <i>Item > Check Spelling</i> and <i>Item > Spellchecker</i>. The latter will invoke the older GNU aspell library and dictionaries, which are not available for Haiku, OS/2, eCS or Windows. <i>Check Spelling</i> will invoke Hunspell.</p>
-<p>Spellchecking works on a frame basis, so just as with hyphenation, you have to select a text frame before you can let Scribus look for errors. One major difference between the hyphenator and the spellchecker is that you cannot set a default language. Scribus will use the system setting instead. If you want to use another language, you have to create a new <a href="WwStyles.html">character style</a>. As you can see below, there is a language selector in the spellchecking dialog, but it will only work for the currently indicated word and then jump back to the language of your character style. The rest should be self-explanatory.</p>

+    <tr>
+      <td><span style="color: red;"><i>If you have dictionaries for more than one language installed, or more than one dictionary for a single language, the spellchecker may not work correctly or not at all. For example, if your character style uses “English” as the language setting, using the dictionary “en_US” (US-American English) won’t work, as “English” is being mapped to “en_GB”. Likewise, “German” will be mapped to “de_DE”. This cannot be fixed in the 1.4.x series because it would break backward compatibility with Scribus files created with prior 1.4.x versions. The file format of the next Scribus version will handle this correctly. As a workaround you can either install the working version (e.g. en_GB or de_DE) or to remove or temporarily disable (=rename) other dictionaries.</i></span></td>

 <p>Welcome to Scribus, a page layout program for Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4, eComStation, Haiku and Windows.</p>

Encouraged by professionals and beginners alike, the Scribus Team, with support from a large and growing number of enthusiastic contributors from all over the world, is dedicated to develop and improve “one of the most powerful and useful open-source projects out there” (TechRepublic).</p>
 
 <p>Underneath a user-friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK colors, spot colors, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation.</p>
 
 <p>Scribus has many unexpected touches, such as powerful vector drawing tools, support for a huge number of file types via import/export filters, emulation of color blindness or the rendering of markup languages like LaTeX or Lilypond inside Scribus. The Scribus file format is XML-based and open. Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents can be recovered with a simple text editor – sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs. Scribus has been translated into more than 25 languages, and more are coming in the future.</p>
