Control Center -> KDE Components -> Spell Checker -> change client to Aspell Really it is half way working. It tells me what words are spelled wrong but does not give me any suggestions. For that a program needs to on the machine called 'wordnet'. It is being downloaded as we speak..... How strange; kmail gives me suggestions yet kword will not. Looks as if wordnet will be useful after all. -- <:-)~MIKE~(-:> This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
