What is the best dictionary for texmaker?

I using texmaker for writing I noticed that the dictionary is missing a lot of scientific words that MS word would never miss. Is there a better dictionary similar to what in MS Word.

Solution

  • Most often, the dictionary (en_US.dic and en_US.aff) will be located in

    >/ur/share/hunspell/

    In Texmaker, In 

    Options/Configure Texmaker/Editor/Spelling Dictionary

    load the 'en_US.dic' file.

    If it is not there, do as following:

    Try this link to get the latest updated dictionary http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice

    Download the .oxt file. Extract the files and then Open texmaker and in

    Options/Configure Texmaker/Editor/Spelling Dictionary

    load the 'en_US.dic' file.
