You might get somewhere with the bad-spellers suggestion mode setting, which should make it more aggressive about trying to find a match for mangled strings. However, I understand that in this mode it's still looking for soundslike mistrakes, not "9 looks like g" and the like. This mode also turns of checking for typos IIRC, but those checks really won't be helping you anyway since they're looking for fumbled keystrokes, not lookalike chars. Tuning the edit distance may or may not help for those really bad mangles. Other than that, you should probably ask this question in an aspell support forum for best results. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
