Well, since I was the source of Bob's information I don't think I'm the one
to verify it, but... When I do a "make distribution" on the latest CVS
code, do the installation, and run AbiWord, there is no spell checking
whatsoever (neither check-as-you-type or selecting "spelling" from the menu
catch any mistakes).
If I copy the executable file ("Abiword.exe") of the latest build and use
it to replace the "Abiword.exe" of, say, an 0.7.10 installation, spell
checking will work as expected (in essence, running the latest Abiword.exe
from a 0.7.10 installation).
If I replace the "Abiword.exe" of a make distribution of the latest code
with the "Abiword.exe" from 0.7.10, spell checking will not work.
(Just trying to emphasize that it seems to be a problem with the
installation, not the .exe file)

I suspect that it works for you because you're using the 0.7.10 version of
abidistfiles.
