Greetings,
I have been using TexWorks and the TexLive collectoion on opensuse
for a number of years.  Spellcheck was always available in TexWorks.
At  work I use opensuse 13.2 and at home I use Tumbleweed.  The
version of TexWorks is 0.4.6 in both cases.  opensuse 13.2 uses
Texlive2013, Tumbleweed uses Texlive2014.
In opensue 13.1 I could enable spellchecking in Texworks by going to
Edit --> Preferences --> General --> Spell-check language
and specify en-US.  that option is not available.
Looking at the manual for TeXworks it specifically says how to
implement spell checking
Got to
Help --> Seetings and Resources --> Resources
and note the Resources directory.  In my case it is
/home/mikecoan/.TeXworks
Create a subdirectoy called dictionaries and copy the dictionary
files from /usr/share/myspell to the new subdirectory.  I ahve done
that  and still no change.
I have installed TeXworks and Texlive from the standard oss
repositories in both cases.  No special repositories.
If anyone has spell check working in TeXworks I would appreciate
knowing what you did.
Note that I have TeXworks configured to use use Plain TeX and pdftex,
but that shouldn't make a difference.

Hello Mike,
TeXworks Version 0.4.6 (openSUSE) [r.c29723a, 03.04.15 20:05] looks at
/usr/share/myspell/dicts by default, see below. On my openSuSE 13.2 the
following link should be added to get the spell checker working.
sudo ln -s  /usr/share/hunspell /usr/share/myspell/dicts
Hope that helps
Peter

Your solution worked perfectly.  Thank you so much.  A real time saver 
not to have typos highlighted.

Mike
