How to make dictionary work in Texstudio

I am using Texstudio as my LaTex IDE and honestly speaking I find it better than others available for the same purpose. One of the advantages is that you can use dictionary for spell checking and in contrast to Texmaker (which are the main so Urce code on which the Texstudio are built) you can also add words in the dictionary. I use my office computer as well as my laptop to write my thesis and I wanted that if I add a word using my office compute R Texstudio It also get added to my laptop dictionary as well. I figured out of that, the best of the same dictionary access to both the computers. So I used the Dropbox to store the dictionary files. Texstudio works with the OpenOffice dictionary. So here is the steps to make the dictionary work in Texstudio.

Step 1: Download the Opnoffice dictionary (Http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice). The download file would be a. OXT archive, which can be open using any archive manager. Extract the En_gb.aff and en_gb.dic files (I am using 中文版 great Britain).

Step 2: Create a folder in Dropbox say dictionary and move the extracted. AFF and. dic file to this folder.

Step 3: Now open Texstudio and click on the menu Options > Configure texstudio.

Step 4: The "On" tab look for the section dictionaries. and give the path to the dictionary in the Dropbox folder. It'll automatically show the dictionaries available in that folder for your to choose. And you were done.

Note: The OpenOffice dictionaries actually does not add the word in the main dictionary file but instead it creates another file W ith the extension IGN. This file contains the list of the words which user have either added or ignored during the spell check. To add a word in the dictionary you has to right-click on the word and choose ignore always option. This would add the word in the Ignore list and next time if you'll open the document that word would not be marked as a Spelling mistake. The advantage of putting the dictionary in the Dropbox folder is the If you ignore a word using one computer it'll al So is updated on the other computer, hence the same dictionary and ignore list can is used on multiple computers.
