I don't have spell check facility I followed instructions Menu, options, advanced, general but no spell checking option, I've updated to latest thunderbird version but no spell check option. I have checked the boxes in composition, spelling, check spelling before sending, enable spell check as you type, correction box pops up but no words in it.

The language tab was greyed so I tried 'download more dictionaries' I downloaded 'English UK' this seems to have worked now many thanks for your help.
