Hi can someone help me. When I got my Toshiba laptop, it came with the Works
suite and not Office, but it also came with Word. The only spellchecks
available on that thought is French German and Spanish but I need an Italian
spellcheck.
Can anyone help me?

There is an alternative to buying one. You could create your own custom
dictionary. It will mean a little work from your side.
Create or use your existing custom dictionary. If you do have a word list
or some files written in Italian on file transfer it to the custom
dictionary.
I am not saying to do it word by word, but open the document and replace all
white spaces, commas, periods, question marks with a paragraph symbol.
Highlight the whole document and open the custom dictionary and paste.
Return to the previous document and change the case so you have first letter
capitalized and paste to custom. Save the file. Do the same with any other
document you have and you know the words are correct or scan some books or
news papers for additional words.
There will be many duplicated words. Open a documents and do a spellcheck.
If you find no misspelled words create one to add. As soon as you do that
Word will automatically delete al duplicate words.
Should you find that Word do not want to New words start with a smaller one
but combine them all at the end of the day and make it one of the default
dictionaries.
I tried this during the week with a word list of 160,000 words and it seems
to work.
