        errors are not checked by the spell checker in Writer? For
        example change the "User Name" to something blatantly incorrect
        and insert the "Author" field into a document. Do the same with
        a "Document Title".Some combination of (1) proper names - even document titles - are
      frequently not dictionary words and (2) users are likely to have
      taken particular care over entering the data for such fields and
      not need the assistance of a spelling checker?What you say would be true in a perfect world, 
but in reality users
    (even careful ones) DO make mistakes. Are you saying that our
    developers are making a highly arrogant presumption that mistakes
    are NEVER made in user defined fields?In
      the same way, most mail clients don't check the spelling of the
      To: header of a message, even the "real name" part. And many -
      even one well-known one - do not check the Subject: header. The
      spelling checker I use with my mail client accepts "Dave" but
      won't countenance "Barton".Email headers are an entirely different beast and have nothing to 
do
    with Writer fields.I
      trust this helps.Brian BarkerDave
