Thanks Siegfried, I did download the dictionary English [Australian] dictionary if I recall and a lot of other stuff, some of which I purged when the spellchecker was up and running and discovered some of the software wasn't required. I just don't recall what was done and what fixed it. It was an affectation. When in windows I actually don't find MSWord or OpenOffice.org onerous to use, but prefer to use LyX wherever possible. So due to bloody mindedness just kept worrying away at it while working in the other programs and finally got it working the way I wanted.
