I installed Mandrake 8.2 and Open office 1.0 (I pretty sure) on my dad's computer. He is trying to get spell check to work. It looks like it is checking the spelling but is not finding miss spelled words. We check to see if the setting was correct for the path to the dictionary, it was. Has anyone else run across this and remembers how they fixed it? TIA John Miller Software Developer Phone: 612-547-7573 Fax: 612-547-7580 Mail Stop: T23 MailTo:john.miller at rbcdain.com
