Here is what I see in 1.5.3svn: it says that I have the en_US dicts installed, and I can find it in /usr/share/myspell/ where Resources says it is. The problem is that it finds no spelling errors. I then added the en_GB dicts (which go to .scribus/dicts/), and then it says every word can't be found in the dictionary. There didn't seem to be a way to delete this dictionary from Scribus, since the item would not highlight in Resources, so I manually deleted it. Greg
