Thanks Craig!! Interesting!! - I did what you suggested and loaded the English UK Dictionary and now all is working fine (!!??). I can select either of the two Dictionaries as I wish. So adding another Dictionary, or specifically the English Dictionary, seems to have added something or "activated" the system!!
My only complaint is that I don't find any way to add words to the Dictionary - How do you do this?? I appreciate the help!!
