My spell checker stopped checking as I typed and also when I intentionally misspell and hit "check" spelling, it says "No misspelled words". I have downloaded a dictionary and still no show. (he problem was there before I tried a new dictionary. I'm using WDOS 7. Under "Tools" / "Options" / "Spelling" I have everything checked.
