I have just tried it again, changing the settings to the ones you use. I then exited the program and restarted it. Dictionary was still Aspell default, and ISO was still 8859-15. But the Client had changed back to International Ispell. Trying to spell check with these settings caused KWord to crash. I then restarted it and the settings it came up with were ASpell default, 8895-15, International Ispell. So I changed the client again to Aspell and clicked OK. Immediately opening the Spell Checking menu again, and the client had reverted to International Ispell. Just to try to cover everything, I did the same but clicked on Accept and then OK. It tells me that the font "Symbol" isn't installed, but I can't think that has any bearing on the problem. As I said earlier, I have ASpell installed and have no problems with KMail (which I understand uses it), or Abiword. However, KSpread and KPresenter both crash when I try to spell check in them. As Alice said, "Curiouser and curiouser!" Cheers Keith
