I think you have it... no dictionary, which is why other MS applications no longer have spell checking. As I said, it's no big deal. Thanks for your suggestions.

Have you installed the dictionary?  Or, what kind of install of Word 97
did you do?  Do you have the full office 97, or was it a custom install?
The first item highlighted in tools is called, or should be, in full,
Spelling and Grammar...

Thanks Flor, but I can't find that particular option. The first item on the tools menu announces itself only as Grammar, and though I have selected to check spelling with grammar it doesn't do so. Never mind, my work around, though messy, is to copy the document into an e-mail and spell check it there, then copy it back. (That's using Forte Agent.)

~Tiddy,

I suggest you tour Tools, Options, Spelling and Grammer tab.  Tab
through the dialogue and check the changes you would like to see
effected, and ok them.  F7 brings up the Spelling and Grammar
dialogue.
It will spell check, if Hide Spelling Errors in this document is not
checked.

With the old Word 95, pushing F7 gave the spell check. I've now got Word 97, (up to date as usual!) and F7 gives a grammar check, but not a
spell
check. Maybe it underlines the dubious words. Is there any way to
get
it
to produce a box with suggestions and options?  (shift + F7 gives a
thesaurus.)
Thanks.
