Spell checker settings are seved when you save a settings file. So if you make changes, like telling it to ignore capitalized words, then save that settings file which is currently loaded, next time you come into k1k and load that file, or if you've saved to default, then its aubomatically loaded when you start up the program, your spell checker settings should be as you set them. In other words, there is no separate method for saving spell checker settings; they get saved right along with the currently loaded settings file when you save that. Mary
