Judith, we should do this off list.  But I don't understand something.  If 
you have MS word and a spell checker, why do you want another one?  Or am I 
missing something here.  I have Office 2002 Pro with MS Word.  It has a 
spell checker that installs with the program.  So, why the need for another 
one?
I'm a little confused.  Jack
