(SOLVED) Spell checker not working

Hi, I am using abiword and claws mail and on both apps the spell check option isn't working. I have installed aspell as well as ispell but still the spell check icon in abiword isn't available to me. I have read up on the relevant manuals, home pages, FAQs etc but have drawn a blank. Any ideas please? With Claws-mail the installed dictionary has the letters He in the drop down box for spell checker under preferences. No other options available and I can't write anything into that box.

Re: (SOLVED) Spell checker not working

After you install aspell uninstall abiword then reinstall. From what I understand aspell has to be their first for abiword install sequence to pick up on it. I had the same issue and this worked for me.
