If you followed Any's instructions (ie. download the Australian dictionary) the spell check will work. > Australian English appears to be already installed and is set as the > default language for all documents. I very much doubt that the Australian dictionary was already installed. It may appear in the list, but normally only the English GB & US dictionaries are included in the basic package. Check the list again to see if English (Australian) has a tick against it. > In the language settings - languages dialogue box I have: > Language of: Locale setting: English (Australia) > and in the > Default Language for Documents - Western: English (Australia). > "the spell checker does not work" means that when I am writing a > document it does not automatically pick up spelling mistakes with the > red underline.

If the dictionary for the required language is not installed, it will make no difference what the document default language is set to and the spell checker will not work. > There are two boxes on the formatting tool bar.

If you still can't get the spell checker working, contact me off-list and I will send you a copy of my Australian spell checker / language set up that is guaranteed to work.
