Selecting this option allows the spell checker to register as “correct” combinations of root words with suffixes or prefixes even if the particular combination is not listed in its dictionary database of words.

If this is selected, then words that appear in the dictionary separately, but have been run together, are considered to be spelling errors. For example, even though “alarm” and “clock” might be in your dictionary, if “alarmclock” is not, it will be flagged as a spelling error.

Choose from the available dictionaries, which one to use for KSpell.

You should select the one that matches the character set you are using. In some cases, dictionaries will support more than one encoding. A dictionary might, for example, accept accented characters when Latin1 is selected, but accept email-style character combinations (like 'a for an accented a) when 7-Bit-ASCII is selected. Please see your dictionary's distribution for more information.

You can choose which of the installed client applications on your system to use. For example, you can choose ispell.
