Yes, to both questions. > If the Russian .spl file is loaded it should work. What misspelled > Russian words are not highlighted as an error? Well, none of them. I've tried all possible mistakes :) It looks like it may have something to do with the formatting of the document. For example when I turn on the spelling on this email, then the quoted with ">" lines don't undergo spell checking. The document I'm trying to check is an HTML file, so maybe the the html coding somehow prevents spell checking? Actually I've just tried it. If I use spellcheck in a_file.txt, then it works. When I try it on empty_file.html then it doesn't work. Things are even more complex. If I start new .txt file, then spell checking works. But if I rename my .html file to .txt, spellchecking still does not work. I can send you my file if it is needed. Oh yes, going back to OP, I didn't get the prompt to download the dictionary! -- Minds, like parachutes, function best when open
