Spell check function in my iworks pages does not work, how do I fix this?

Question

I have a new IMac (intel) and I am struggling learning to use the ipage part of the iwork suite.  There does not appear to be a spell check feature working, since I'm trying to create some new documents, this is a real hassle.  And does anyone know how to do a cut and paste of images from the web.  I'm doing a presentation, have permission to use the photos and can't get it to work!!  sigh  I beginning to think I should have paid the xtra bucks and bought the window suite version, at least I know where they hid the bells and whistles in that one. 
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,
For questions on Pages post in the Pages forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
-- You can read about the various spell check features in Pages by typing in the word "spelling" in the Pages help menu.  This entry should get Spell check up and running for you: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Pages/4.0/en/sl150c96ab.html
If there is an image on a website you want to use locally on your computer usually just dragging the image from the web page anywhere on your desktop is enough to copy the image.  You can then drag the image from the desktop anywhere you want.
Alternatively you can right-click (or hold down the control key and regular click on the image) on the image and then choose "Copy Image.  You can then perform an Edit > Paste into a Pages document for example.
Hope that helps.
