Using Multiple Language Dictionaries
Nisus Writer Pro offers you access to all the dictionaries that come with OS X. Check your Apple
documentation to confirm how to turn on these various capabilities. Other dictionaries are available
on the Internet, for example CocoAspell

These dictionaries are best used as an attribute of the Language “style” which you apply to your
text. To learn more about using Nisus Writer Pro for writing in multiple languages see “Writing in
Multiple Languages” on page 27.
Alternative spelling checker dictionaries
If you have turned on the ability to check spelling in various languages you will see a pop-up menu
at the top of the Spelling window. You can choose an alternative language from that menu at any
time. If you have set your Languages preferences in Nisus Writer Pro and assigned different
dictionaries to different languages and then chosen those languages as you entered text, Nisus
Writer Pro will automatically switch the language as it scans your document for misspelled words.
