Free LaTeX replacement for MS Word? (wysiwyg)

Post by TriKri »

Hi!

I'm looking for a good free WYSIWYG LaTeX editor which I can use instead of MS Word. I have found LyX, which I kindof like. But it lack on spell checking. Is there any way to fix this so it gt'es a good selpl chkecer? Maybe it's partly because I write in Swedish, and it's hard to get good spell ckeckers for the Swedish language.

Hi TriKri,

you could use aspell, there is a swedish dictionary available for it, as well as for ispell.
LyX shoud be able to use it, just go to Tools/ Spell checking or to Tools/ Preferences/ Language Settings.
