I have no expectations you would to apply them to hunspell dictionaries - that would definitely be a bridge too far. I just wanted to clarify how I 'adjust' the standard Word dictionaries.

As already indicated, I'll have no problems with having to restart Word when I want to switch from using Word's dictionaries to hunspell dictionaries and vice versa - but I would like to know which ones I'm currently using

By custom dictionaries I assume you mean the supplementary word lists that Word and hunspell can use and maintain. Are you saying they can be the same files - that would be cool? I use multiple 'custom dictionaries' in Word - one for general purpose, and others that are genre/domain specific.

Therefore I am doubting to make that an option. The same goes for Words in capitals, often these are smallcaps not identified correctly by the OCR process. The internet addresses might be possible, I will look into this. I might incorporate these options, but I am not sure yet.

Numbers are my main concern, I only mentioned the UPPERCASE and urls for 'completeness' sake.

I raise it because the spell checker in Sigil does ignore some words with numbers, but the spell checker in calibre doesn't ignore any - but both purport to use hunspell. If you're interested spellcheck this -- untitled.epub -- in sigil and calibre

The following is the same real book - sigil on the left, calibre on the right, with same dictionaries.



In the following index entry, Calibre reports 235n32 as a misspelling, but Sigil doesn't - and it is not because of semantic settings.

But for real books such as the one above I only convert them to DOCX for the purpose of iFilter based content searching. I would never spell check it in Word.
