Thanks for the reply and the list, John. I had several packages not installed, so I installed them. Doing an rpm -qa | grep kde on my installation gives me about thirty more packages than are on your list. They are mainly libraries, so I assume you edited your list. After installing them, there is still the same problem of KWord crashing when I try to spell check, and it not recognising the KDE CC - Components - Spell Checker settings. Nor remembering the spelling settings in KWord itself. I have reinstalled KOffice again, and also reinstalled KDE. But it's still the same - keeps crashing. The only thing I may do is to reinstall the complete distro and see if that cures it. Otherwise I am at a loss and will have to give up trying to use KWord. I daren't trust myself to send any letters without the spelling being checked! > there is also something called, > kde-i18-en_GB-3.1.3-1mdk > > I guess there is something similar for your required language > I live in Yorkshire, so kde-i18-en_GB-3.1.3-1mdk is installed. One thing I have noticed. All your packages are earlier than mine (for example, your kdebase-servicemenu is 1.0-6, whereas mine is 1.0-12) Anne has no problems with spell checking in KWord, but she runs MDK9.1. Mine is MDK9.2. Cheers Keith
