Hello Everett:

 See if Ispell is even installed. Then make sure that Kword is using Ispell 
instead of Aspell.
 I hate to say this but Kword and Koffice are just laden with bugs. That is 
probably why ispell is not working. I did the docs for Kformula and Kchart. I 
also prepared the auto-spellcheck hash table for Kword. While doing those 
tasks, I had ample opportunity to find lots of bugs in Koffice. That Ispell 
does not work is the least of your troubles. Here are the really bad ones 
that have not been fixed:

Synopsis:
Saving a template with a table that laps onto the next page will flood your 
memory and swap space:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46343
Not Fixed!
Synopsis:
Bug 51929: Repeatedly saving a Kword doc causes the footers to expand 
(normal) 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51929
Not Fixed!

 I advise you to use Abiword and Gnumeric or OpenOffice. Sorry for the bad 
news Everett but Koffice is in really bad shape.


							Kind regards
