anybody used Word 5.1a spellcheck under Executor?



Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the Word 5.1a 
spellcheck feature under Executor?

I'm having a lot of problems with it.  First of all, it's really slow.  
Well, okay, it is slow even when I run it on a real Mac.  The way I fixed 
this was to turn "always suggest spellings" off -- I guess the word 
suggestion algorithm is a slow one.  But I can't do this under Executor, 
because whenever I try to change the settings in the Spelling "control 
panel", they never get saved across sessions.  Hmm.

I also can't seem to use any custom dictionaries.  They don't get saved 
across Word sessions either.

Am I an isolated case here, or are others having problems with the 
spelling feature?  If this is a problem, does (a) ARDI know about it? and 
(b) are they doing something about it?

The Word program itself seems to run OK, though.

Thanks for your help!
