I am having problems with understanding how to load a dictionary, what each dictionary means, and what all I need to do codewise, before I run the spell checker.

any links to information on this would be appreciated.

1. Most of the time you need main dictionary only. The main dictionary is built at Aspose. Main dictionary is for a particular language. English US dictionary is included in the installer, others are available from the Aspose.Spell download page.

To load main dictionary:

     spell.LoadMainDictionary(MainDictionaryFileName);

2. Affix dictionary is an "additional" dictionary that might be pertinent to your project or your organization. It can be created manually by you, using a special tool included with the Aspose.Spell installer. I think these are not used too often.

3. Custom dictionary is just a collection of words that you can added to the Spell object at runtime to allow them to spell check correctly. Aspose.Spell does not store custom dictionary - it is up to you to store it. You can store it in a file or database. It is optional.

For more info see the demo source code included with the Aspose.Spell installer.
