I assume this is the sort of message seen :- Spell checking completed. 2 words ignored - no dictionary found. If EasiWriter does not recognize the contents of D_UK as a dictionary, even though the file is present and filetyped 'EasiDict', then the message is the same as if the file was not there at all. That suggests that D_UK could be corrupted, it would be worth trying a fresh copy from the CD. D_UK has its Access set to 'LR' only here which should keep it safely. -- David Pitt.
