I have the same enabled, and the same language selcted. I have also tried unchecking "Check spelling as you type" and doing a manual spell check - it still just says that the spell checking is complete.
I'll continue trying to see if it is a problem here, although it's the same on two installations :-(

Keith, It almost has to be a missing file/program you have failed to download from James' site, as Abiword works fine with spellcheck for both he and I. Maybe some others will chime in as well, that are using it or have tried it too. The libwpd program, that allows you to load up WordPerfect files, works nicely as well. I hope to see that one incorporated into OpenOffice soon. One has to remember though that it is designed to load the Windows WordPerfect files (.wpd) and has trouble with Linux WP files (.wpt). Although, I found that changing the extension to .wpd will make those work also. The spell checking thing on your machines is surely missing the same file on both, thus the reason both don't work. I wish it was somehow easy to tell you which one. I know I have almost all of James' files installed from the Dependency list and Misc list, so check some of those to see if you have something missing. What about all the Abiword files? Got all those or just Abiword alone? Just tossing out thoughts for you to check as only you can trace down the problem. good luck, Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.3-3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
