[snip] information read and used. Thank you Fabian and all the other helpful people on the list. I did as suggested and installed the packages in the correct order and everything is working, other than that the Spellchecker does not work. In Tools>Language>Select>Text - English (NZ) is checked but when I type a word incorrectly, e.g. color instead of colour, the word is not highlighted as mispelt. Even a series of characters typed at random are not highlighted as incorrect. The only languages shown are English (NZ) and English (USA) even though English (GB) is shown as installed in Synaptic. Any advice how I can get the spell checker working, please? It is probably something I have done incorrectly but I cannot think waht :-( Zed -- Zed Q: Why are Blonde jokes so short?
