The documentation that I have seen for the Ignore Spelling contextual menu item says that it applies to the current document, but does not say one way or the other whether the setting is persistent. As far as I can tell, the setting is not persistent. That strikes me as odd. Why would one want to ignore the word only in one editing session? I imagine using this command for words that are correct in context but not correct in all contexts. Any thoughts?

I don't think the spell-checker knows how to persist data [the list of ignored words] into the text being checked. In other words, it doesn't know how or where you're saving that text. If you want this persistent behavior, which I agree is good, you'll have to save the state of that setting, plus the list of ignored words, into your document somehow. (I don't know how to do this; I've never worked with the Cocoa spell-check API.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
