No Spell checking in Mandrake

I am experimenting with several distros to see which I want to use as my Linux
distribution. (Have been messing about with various distros for too long and
it's time to standardise). I would like to use Abiword as my word processor.

Abiword spell checking (English-GB) works with my SUSE and my Libranet
distros, but not with my Mandrake distro. In Mandrake, the spell check icon
and the menu item remain greyed out, and nothing I have tried will activate
it. I am using version 2.0.7 with Mandrake and SUSE and 2.0.1 in Libranet. I
have also tried 2.1.3 in Mandrake.

As far as I can tell,"normal.awt" and "profile" settings are the same for all,
and aspell with an English dictionary is installed in all the distros. Ispell
is also installed.

Has anyone got Abiword to spell check in Mandrake, please? If so, could you
give me a guide what to do?

Many thanks for any help.

Keith
