Thanks guys! The spell check is now working. It is easy when you how.;-) Next Question: Can I use OOo as my email editor using Microsoft Outlook? Or must I toss MS Outlook, and if so, with what do I replace it?

Check Tools-Options-Language Settings- Languages. There should be a little ABC with a check mark against the language if the dictionary is installed. Right click on a paragraph of text, choose Character and you will be able to see what is set for that text. Look in Help for setting up a default template if you need to, so these settings are retained. HTH Russell Please reply _only_ to [email protected] -- No virus found in this incoming message.
