181202 2003-10-07 22:27:00 I have MS Publisher98 intalled on a Win XP Home system

When I try to do a spell check it tells me that a file is missing.

I have reinstalled publisher but the problem remains

181204 2003-10-08 02:46:00 Make a note of what file is missing, and try entering it to the Google search. It will probably be a dictionary. You may have the language set to English instead of American(US). :D Graham L (2)
181205 2003-10-08 23:50:00 Publisher does not tell me what file is missing.

The message says "Publisher cannot find a file it needs to run the spellchecker for the language, English (New Zealand)

I have changed it to English (United States) but it still shows an error message for USA English

According to a book I found, the spelling check isn't an option in the custom installation, so it should be there. It might pay to just reinstall Publisher. The dictionaries might have accidentally got lost. :D
