Are you getting red underlines under miss-spelled words? If not you may not have a dictionary working. You can check this under the menu "Tools - Options". In the dialogue box select the subsection "Language Settings- Languages" If your chosen "Western" language in the "Default Languages for documents" section of the dialogue box does not have a blue tick, no dictionary is installed fro that language.
