</div>ugh. That is enough to give you grief, especially if you have a project<br>
you are working on. I usually wait until the end of the semester (or<br>
quarter) to do an upgrade, for that specific reason. I seem to often do<br>
wierd tweaks that will send an upgrade in odd directions.<br>

</div>Or, in a pinch, use the Ubuntu USB thumb drive. When spell check didn't<br>
work because I deleted the spell check program (later reinstalled it<br>
when I figured out it was missing), I was able to boot from the Ubuntu<br>
thumb drive, open my document on my hard drive, spell check it, and then<br>
save it right back to my local hard drive, or copy it somewhere else.<br>
