I already made them work for the hunspell dictionaries as well... That was not so hard, getting the filename for the exclusion file was (long live CLID...).

Hunspell only works for my procedure and there it is displayed whether the Word or Hunspell engine is used. If you want to switch custom dictionary a restart is only required for the Word spelling procedure. I made it work for using the Word spelling engine for my procedure.

Yes, you can use them both in my spelling procedure, but only one at the time.

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 -- Attachment 146820 -- in sigil and calibre

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

Attachment 146819

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.

I have incorporated this, so my spelling engine uses the same settings as Word. However, I will also create a setting to ignore this for my specific procedure, as I feel that it would bypass several spelling mistakes. I will also set a strong warning about these settings in the manual.
