Lewis, Do you have an answer for Kal questions? Fact is, give us a level playing field & we will kick MS's sorry cop-cat ass...period. I suppose you didn't mind when the schoolyard bully took your lunch money just because he could....did you?????? I think we are doing an excellent job of fending off their onslaught! Rod Beckwith The above stated views are mine, not my employers.

Can you think of an application that could not make use of a spelling checker? The reason Windows doesn't have a built-in spelling checker is that Microsoft isn't competing with another OS and that universal tool is probably the primary reason people purchase, launch, and wait for Word. Otherwise, most people would use Wordpad which probably has 99% of the features needed to do 99% of typical wordprocessing work. Microsoft isn't doing anything to make anything easier, they are doing everything to make Microsoft the only option.
