Thanks, Ron, but actually I had tried Search & Replace on the Notes-general tab and it hadn't worked. I did eventually find, as Richard suggested, that neice had crept into the dictionary and having deleted it the spell check on the notes page worked. However, when I changed it back deliberately wrongly in the notes (without using spell check there) and ran Search & Replace again, it again it didn't find it. So I'm not sure quite what's wrong. I hoped there was a way of globally searching ALL fields at once, rather than category by category, but couldn't find it. Elizabeth
