Hello, I am running Mathematica v 7.0.0 on a Mac G4 (non-intel, OSX v 10.5.7), and my problem is that I cannot get Spell Check to work. Specifically, from the SpellChecker dialog box, I get the message 'Reason for stopping: The spelling Dictionaries for %S could not be' I have checked that the relevant file it there (I am presuming this is MathematicaWords.clm) (/Users/powerbook/Library/Mathematica/SystemFiles /SpellingDictionaries/English/MathematicaWords.clm) and, using OptionsInspector, that the SpellingDictionaryPath is apparently OK. Although it is probably not relevant, the DictionaryLookup command works perfectly. Finally, I have now installed Mathematica 7.0.0 on two Macs: the above G4 and a G5, and SpellCheck works on neither (exactly the same problem on both machines). (I can, however, SpellCheck with Publicon, and there was no problems with Mathematica 5.2. I am not sure about v 6.0, but I don't rememeber any problem). I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if others have succeeded in using SpelllCheck on a Mac with version 7.0.0 or 7.0.1? If anyone has any idea what I am doing wrong, or what the problem is, I would appreciate the advice. Thanks for you help, Thomas Dowling
