Hi Sharon,

I have that setup on one machine and the auto spell check is working.

First suggestion - do you have a myspell dictionary installed? Search
for package names beginning "myspell-" and install one or more of them.

Secondly (and please forgive me for mentioning this just in case you
have overlooked it), but is your auto spell check switched on? There's
a toolbar button or you can set it under Tools -> Options -> Language
Settings -> Writing Aids -> Options -> Check spelling as you type.

I hope this helps.
