No need to shut it down -- or at least there wasn't in the past. You have to make sure the appropriate option is ticked in the Mail/News options, of course. The first time you use it, just select the default dictionary from the drop- down and close the spell-checker; if you run it again, it should be OK -- that is, check the spelling without crashing on you. > Good luck ;-) Everyone needs some of that some times. . . . ;-) /b. -- Mozilla end-user questions should be directed to: * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.general * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.win32 * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.mac * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.unix Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.
