    Not certain this'll work - hope it doesn't make things any worse.

    View
    Toolbars
    Standard - this should be ticked
    then you should see a box showing ABC with a tick.

    Good luck!

    You may also need to do this:

    Tools
    Spelling and Grammar
    Dictionary Language - this should show English (U.K.)

    Thanks Jay but none of those things come up on my tools or toolbar ????????????

    I assume you mean spell check on your computer as a whole, rather than just Word files?

    What sort of thing is in your toolbar (or whatever it's called) on your document screen at the moment?

    Yes Carol thats what I mean . I can get it on documents . But it used to spell check automatically when I was on here , now it does not. Also was automatic on both my email accounts. I can do spell check on them but its a pain, so much easier when it gets underlines in red as I go.

    If you find out how to spell check on Talkback, let me know!

    Does it depend on who you use for sending e-mails?

    don`t know??

    I know I used to have a spell checker option in the tools section, but like Jenny lost it after my previous computer had to be completely wiped.
    I was using XP then. I never found it again, so you may just need to keep a dictionary handy, sadly.

    Use virtually ANY browser except IE. Firefox, Safari and Google all have spell checkers
