Christina, I hate to dispute what you're saying, but the red & white
highlight of the spellcheck is the same for both rtf & word documents,
else there would be no differentiation between the highlighted word &
the surrounding text, which is also black on white.
If u can't get this working on your own, perhaps a trip to the friends
of bookshare community or classroom tomorrow would be in order.
