Thanks Ian, these are [size=x-large]g[/size][size=large]r[/size][size=medium]e[/size][size=small]a[/size][size=x-small]t[/size].
And Bill, I'd missed the spellcheck after I moved away from Firefox back to IE7, so many thanks indeed for the iespell. And yes, I know it seems odd, going back to big bad MS, but FF had given me problems after the last update.
I have both and I hate to say but IE7 is OK, probably because they ripped of FireFox. Funnily enough you are not the first person I have heard that had update problems. The latest version is Firefox/2.0.0.1, I didn't update to that but downloaded a fresh installation no problem.
There are also spellchecker (and translation) facilities accessible via the latest Google Toolbar, which you can add into your browser. It has many other goodies and I would hate to be without it.
