There aren't many people testing abiword during beta's of new mandrake
releases, but in my testing the spell checking works. The packages for
10.0 are all the same in official release, community release and club
packaging, so there shouldn't be any difference for club subscribers.
I suggest to use abiword-2.0.3-2mdk, libenchant1-1.1.2-1mdk and
enchant-1-1-2-1mdk like from this mirror:
ftp://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/Mandrakelinux/devel/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/
It "should" work with these packages.

With these packages, could you run the commands Dom suggested?
enchant-lsmod
enchant-lsmod -lang

Make sure you have the aspell package installed for the language that's
listed in case the second command gives an error like:
"No dictionary available for 'en_US.UTF-8'"
In this case you would need aspell-en.
