Both malfunctioned in the same way: * Very long time for starting the programme (about 2-3 minutes before I could write in the document or do anything else with it) * Spell check activation brings my PC to a standstill.

So thank you for your efforts, but I think I will not need any more support. Yours, H[...] Zok [...] I'll accept that decision and I'll never obtrude undesired support. I'm not a missionary ...
