[OS X TeX] TeXShop, Cocoaspell, and MacOS 10.13.2

[Richard Koch]

Raul Martinez,

I postponed installing High Sierra on my primary machine until a couple of weeks ago. When I finally installed, I did a clean installed: I partitioned the disk, and then installed High Sierra on a new partition.

Until I read your message, I hadn't installed CocoAspell. Just now, I did, without problems. Here's what I did:

a) This year for the first time, we supplied the CocoAspell install package in /Applications/TeX with MacTeX-2017. I found it there and installed with no problems,

b) Then I opened Apple's System Preferences and selected the new Spelling preference pane at the bottom. In the first column, I checked the first entry, English (United States) [w_accents]. On the right side, I checked the URL and TeX/LaTeX filters.

c) Next I ran TeXShop. In TeXShop Preferences, under the Source Tab, in the Dictionary pull down menu, I selected
English (United States) [w_accents] and clicked OK.

d) Then I restarted TeXShop. One of my documents automatically loaded, and tex command words were not marked as misspelled.
