On the contrary, I wrote the original query to the list to find out what happened to them for they no longer worked for me. Fortunately I managed to get them to work again by performing the steps outlined in my previous email. How those features got turned off however, is still a mystery.

Hello Ian, > Also, there is no way of creating a personal dictionary as in the > past.

I have a user dictionary for Spanish that I called "muuserdicesp.tlx" for SSCE and it is always shown when I right click on a misspelled word and select Add to dictionary from context menu. For SSCE you have to create a txt file in Mail/speller directory. The first line must identify the language. For example "#LID 29552", without the quotes, for Spanish. Open the .tlx file for your desired language to find the needed #LID value. Save the file and change the .txt extension to .tlx For Hunspell, which I don't currently use, it is a little different. I have two user dictionaries in Mail/dictionaries directory: es_ES.udc for Spanish en_GB.udc for British English Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

So, as a last resort, I had to actually search for the answer for myself. What I found was that the dictionary controls are available only when composing a message, as far as I can tell. Please see attached (I hope) screen grab. If you are able to see the attached photo you'll see that SPELL CHECKER is in the top menu bar. Clicking on that option yields the context menu you see. Although AUTOMATIC CHECKING seems to be selected, I clicked on one of the other options and then back to AUTOMATIC CHECKING. From that point on (as you can see) the spell checker started working. Also, right-clicking on a flagged word brings up a context menu which includes the option to add the word to the dictionary. Given that you and I are using widely separated versions of TB!, YMMV. I have no idea why it stopped working to begin with but at this point I'm taking what I can get. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!

It works fine here. However I'm using TB v1.61 as you can see below. Maybe there is a new bug introduced by v1.62 -- Best regards, Miguel A.

John, what I did was to go into the speller sub directory of my TB installation and delete (rename to be safe!) the various US oriented speller dictionaries leaving files such as sscbr.* thus forcing TB to use the proper dictionaries.
