    It seems, Inkscape offers now a built-in spell checker:

    Perhaps it's time for the Xara developers to rise in rank...

    Thanks for the link, this will be really useful, as I can't get the spell checker in Thunderbird to work.

    Spell checkers are great but they still can't catch words used in the wrong places....like:
    your - you're, than - then, accept - except, too - to, they're - their -there

    I blame spell checkers for the rampant missuse of words

    I coud not agree more. They encourage laziness and indeed, ignorance.
    Given than the English language is full of heterographs, it is this fact alone that makes spellcheckers worse than useless.

    Yes, life is hard.

    But we need a spell checker within Xara Xtreme, this is what this thread is about...

    I copy and paste text from emails, word and simple text files. So ideally, mispelled words should be underlined red in a document when opening a xara document or pasting text, not only when it's typed in on the fly.

    I desperately need also a text search and text replace function within Xara.
