You may be just basically misunderstanding Appleworks >> Spell check does not work
Make sure you understand that Appleworks doesn't underline incorrect words like Word. Instead you have to press the icon with and a..z with a tick above, or Edit>Writing Tools>Check Document Spelling... >> Dictionary just offers very basic words/definitions This is probably just because this is what it does. If you type in glaring and right click it (control click if you don't have a two button mouse) and click thesaurus you should get the following options. This is correct I have a book on Appleworks and it shows the same thing. adj. Tastelessly showy > loud, gaudy, flashy, tawdry, garish, meretricious, tacky, chintzy adj. Conspicuously bad or offensive > rank, gross, flagrant, arrant adj. Extremely bright > brilliant, blazing, dazzling v. To look intently and fixedly > eye, gaze, peer, glare, stare, gape, ogle, goggle v. To stare fixedly and angrily > glare, scowl, glower If these don't help please email back and maybe you have some missing files which I could send you off list. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
