You will need to install a spell program Ispell and Aspell are both
available (I recommend Aspell, see http://aspell.net/ for reasons)
then add some statements to your .emacs file to enable it.
You can find the latest Aspell that has been ported for windows at:
http://aspell.net/win32/
Download the Aspell binaries (Full installer) and the precompiled
dictionaries of your choice. (You will need at least one dictionary,
but can have multiple dictionaries if you desire).
I recommend installing in the c:/aspell directory.
Once you have Aspell installed put the following in your .emacs (note
that the internal variable names in emacs begin with ispell-):
;; Enable aspell as the spell program
;; (Requires that the Aspell program and a dictionary be installed on
the PC.
;; Install them in: c:\Aspell
;; Add the following to the PATH variable: c:\Aspell\bin
;; The latest version of the Aspell program, Aspell-<version>.exe,
;; and the dictionary of your choice, for example: aspell-en-
<version>.exe,
;; can be found at http://aspell.net/win32/).
(setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell")
You can also put the following in your .emacs if you desire to have
regions skipped in c and java modes, similar hooks can be added for
other modes as well:
;;-*- -*- -*- -*- -*-
;; (message "Add c mode hook")
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(set (make-local-variable 'ispell-skip-region-alist)
(cons '("\\\\[abfnrtv\\'\"]")
ispell-skip-region-alist))))
;;-*- -*- -*- -*- -*-
;; (message "Add java mode hook")
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(set (make-local-variable 'ispell-skip-region-alist)
(cons '("\\\\[abfnrtv\\'\"]")
ispell-skip-region-alist))))
