Further to my last experimentations I discovered the following In KWord Settings/configure/spelling/ Dictionary ASpell default Encoding US-ASCII Client International Ispell Consider run together words as spelling errors enable Show Misspelled words in Document And the automagic spell checker works. But what I did was changed the Client to ASpell I think, and it returned to Ispell So maybe you have to work in there and it will set itself up? So everything on the left click menu is now working. Very strange. In Kpresenter I had some problems, leaving it as default I discovered that on auto spell check it marked the words, but unfortunately brought up the spell checker and froze the screen. I couldn't get out without logging out and coming back in. Then I placed ASpell as the Client, and it went through all the processes as with KWord. But the spell checking window flashed onto the screen and then off again. So I again selected International Ispell as the Client and it went back to the Dictionary setting as ISpell Default instead of ASpell default and worked perfectly. I went back to KWord and it was as above I had left it with ASpell default as Dictionary and worked without fault. So it would appear that you have to work round with the KOffice applications in Whatever KOffice App/settings/configure/spelling/ and take what works, changing things round a bit so that they can look for what is needed. Hope this is not to confusing and helps. Charlie. -- A steady wind scours the autumn moon From a stagnant pool, From the crystal spring every place pure now Just as it is.
