First you need to ensure the relevant dictionary is installed. Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages shows which dictionaries are installed. There is a box labelled "Default language for documents". This must show the language you want *and* the language name *must* have a tick and a little "abc" in front of it. If the tick and "abc" are not there then the dictionary for that language is not installed. In this case, go to File>Wizards>"Install new dictionaries" and choose the dictionary you need. Once it has been installed the spell checker should work. Go back and check that the tick and "abc" now shows against the Default language for documents. If you still have problems, come back here with exact details of what you did and what happened, particularly the details of any error messages you got. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
