Hi, Lennart,
`ispell-complete-word' does not use spellchecking dictionaries but
plain wordlists to guess completions, so it does not depend on spellchecking
engines. Plain wordlist to use can be customized by means of
`ispell-alternate-dictionary' variable.
Do you have a plain wordlist installed? It has been considered a nearly
standard part of any UNIX-like system (at least a minimal american wordlist)
whose default location is currently /usr/share/dict/words (or previously
/usr/dict/words). While this does not apply to w32, any plain wordlist at
any of the locations tried in `ispell-alternate-dictionary' should work, as
well as in any other location as long as `ispell-alternate-dictionary' is
modified.
See `lookup-words' along with `ispell-complete-word' for more info.
`ispell-alternate-dictionary' docstring speaks about 'dictionary' instead
of word-list dictionary as `lookup-words' does. Cannot commit now but will
try to put this more clear soon.
I think that this bug report can be closed or renamed to something like
'Improve `ispell-alternate-dictionary' docstring'.
Cheers,
