Paid mode, been using Eudora for many years When I click on spell check, it will find the mispelled word highlight it, but thats all, it will not correct it Misspelled words will be underlined as I type them in. . But no changes are made either way. Any pressing of the mouse yields a beep but no action. Pressing enter that gets me back to normal. > >Are you using "check spelling automatically as you type," >or "Edit" > "Check Spelling"? > >What exact actions do you perform? >(right-click on "redlined" word, or click a specific button, etc.) >and then what results? > >[below are files you posted] > >uchange >#LID 0009 0 0 > >uignore >#LID 1033 1 7 >com >e-mailmm >eudora >org >pacbell >qualcomm >yahoogroups > >usuggest >#LID 0009 2 0 > >american.tlx >#LID 1033 1 1018 >April >August >December >[...] > >[End of posted files] > > >Meaning of header: #LID 1033 1 7 > >#LID 1033 is the language ID for language dictionaries > (E.g. 1033=American, 2057=British) >1 is a lexicon type number (0=auto_change,1=ignore,2=suggest,3=exclude) >7 is the number of entries (word lines) in the file > (lines in types 0 and 2 are "change_this:to_this") > >My own "uignore" says "#LID 0009" rather than "#LID 1033" > >Katrina also suggests "#LID 0009" for the _user_ files, >though I do not know whether this is necessary >(do you know how your "uignore" became "#LID 1033"?) >http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows/msg/c0d95ce640aba5ea > >"Foreign Dictionaries (Windows Eudora)" >http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1426hq.html > >For the curious -- geek info from Wintertree Software >http://www.wintertree-software.com/support/ssce/converting4xtlxfiles.html

Does "gets me back to normal" mean that it starts working properly? If, while Eudora is closed, you move all your u*.tlx files to another place for safekeeping, does the problem go away? (if not, close Eudora again and move your files back). Have you ever manually added or changed any spelling dictionaries? Re-running the Eudora installer is one way to replace the original dictionaries (although it will not remove any extras that may have been added). --

Did reinstalling made no difference. There must be another corrupted file, either in Eudora directory or somewhere in Windows. Not sure if reinstalling overwrites everything Like I said the other copy on another USB drive works fine. Also thanks for the help
