Hi Robert I cannot respond to your exact experience, but a common cause of this sort of behaviour is the language setting of the document. If the dictionary used and the language do not coincide, then the spellcheck will not work. Try selecting a paragraph, then right-click (or whatever the equivalent on a Mac) Select "Character", then on the "font" tab, the language should be shown. Compare that with the setting in Tools -Options Language Settings - Languages HTH Russell --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
