Hi, 

I went through this before, but with Affinity updates and a new computer, I have lost my ability to have an Australian dictionary in Publisher. I have copied the en-au.aff, en-au.dic and en-au.txt files to  C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\en-AU, but can't work out what to do next to get it to work.

Help please!

Garry

Assuming that that directory (with \ rather than / characters) is what's shown in your Publisher Preferences, Tools tab, then the dictionary files are in the right place. After that, all you should need to do is set the languages in the Character panel of your documents, or in your Text Styles, and enable spell checking and automatic hyphenation.
