hmm. Well, as I said, once was an upgrade where a dictionary had been installed before. I guess this should be a wish-list item for a better message to "please install a dictionary" rather than spellcheck failing mysteriously. The only initial clue I had was putting a check in spellcheck in the options, and having the check mark dissappear when I looked there again, and spellcheck not working. The install/upgrade gave me no clue. Ah well, thanks for the info.

Every time you wash your hands in cold, clean, clear water- say a prayer of thanks to whatever deity you revere. Every time you drink fresh, odorless water- say the same prayer. Never throw out the clean water remaining in your glass- water a plant, give it to the cat, throw it out into the garden? whatever.
