Sometimes the spellchecker works fine. My OS in W98 Any suggestions Thanks David	Guest (0)

It may be the document you are trying to spellcheck was created elsewhere using a different dictionary language (and not available on your system). Click on Tools, Language, Set language. I have mine set to English (Australia) and if I select English (New Zealand) I get that error message you describe if I try to check the spelling because the English (New Zealand) dictionary isn't available :(. If the document you are trying to check has been created elsewhere try selecting all the text and set the language to a dictionary that is available on your PC. Hope this helps, Rod J.	Rod J (451)
