   My mistake. As you were. It's   
   Tools, Options, COMPOSITION, Spelling, tick appropriate box.   
   There's also 'Download More Dictionaries'.   
      
   But I'm surprised you have no Display. I've got   
   General, Display, Composition, Chat, Privacy, Security, Attachments,   
   Calendar and Advanced tabs.   
      
   Do you have Composition?   
      
   However....   
   I've been checking, and it's possible that not all versions of TB are   
   equal. Mine started life as V11, and has steadily been updated as new   
   versions appeared.   
      
   Anyway, I'll try and see what the reason is.

   No, no. Your fortitude is to be commended.
