Hi,  
I don’t have the Spell-Checking Dictionaries option in Tools. I see only: Setting, Edit Source, Export Items, Export QA results, Check Ongoing Translation, Edit Key Terms, Manage Checklists, Add last search to checklist.  
How can I make it appear?

Thanks,  
Agata

Hi Agata,

If the Tools menu does not have the Spell-Checking Dictionaries option, you are running Xbench 2.9, the freeware version. For more information on installing the dictionaries in Xbench 2.9, consult this [blog entry](http://www.apsic.com/blog/?p=20).

If you want to run Xbench 3.0, download and install the software from the [download section](https://www.xbench.net/index.php/download) of the web.

In this case, we highly recommend you to uninstall Xbench 2.9 previously and remove any remaining file from the Xbench 2.9 installation folder (typically, C:\Program files\ApSIC\Xbench) before installing Xbench 3.0.

Regards,  
Oscar.
