[scribus] 1.3.5 Windows spelling checker ?

[Frank Swygert]

I only read SOME of the many posts on this. A spell checker is essential 
IMHO. So is a good text editor. In PM6 I enter text directly on a blown 
up page so I can easily see how much room I have left and if I change 
fonts or text size I can see the results. I'll often do one or the other 
(sometimes both) to fully fill a page. The last thing I do before 
creating a PDF file for printing is run the spell checker. That's the 
only time I use the text editor -- the spell checker is built into the 
editor and can't be run directly on the page. Maybe that's a 
better/easier idea -- integrate the spell checker with the text editor?

If I could run it directly from the page I would! If it messes up flow 
or layout I would see it directly and be able to fix it quicker, not 
after it's been sent to the printer! I've had things like that happen 
when rushed to meet a deadline. It's no fun getting 200 copies of a 
magazine with some small error in them that's all your fault and not the 
printer's!  Sometimes the error is small enough it's not worth the time 
delay (and money!) to reprint. I usually find the error in my proof copy 
if it's a bad one, luckily!
