534529	2007-03-21 05:45:00	Speedy...Thanks, will try that if it still does not "Hold" the UK English settings. But what about the Dictionary??? PJ	Poppa John (284)
534530	2007-03-21 06:46:00	Might need to be changed in the normal.doc file. Can't recall how to get that open.	wotz (335)
534531	2007-03-21 08:15:00	I would imagine that I would have to download, or but the CD from somewhere . Of somebody's Dictionary. Is that correct? Anyone know, or has done just that? PJ	Poppa John (284)
534532	2007-03-21 08:52:00	Hi PJ. If you chose to use a non-USA English then you get a good quality English-English list of words for Word to compare with your efforts. There's no dictionary as such with Word - just a list of words. I use a neat little Dictionary called WordWeb - I have the pro (purchased) edition. Sits amongst the junk next to the clock. As you type in Word, clicking on the small icon gives a good dictionary meaning of the word you just typed. At other times and in any programme, just clicking the icon and typing in a word has the same effect. Has a free version too.	Scouse (83)
534533	2007-03-21 09:00:00	Pj. The following is from the Word 2003 Help. I'm not to sure that it is really a help though. Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages. To prevent Microsoft Word from flagging the spelling of words that aren't in the main dictionary, you can use a custom dictionary (custom dictionary: A list of words not in the standard dictionary that an author wants the spelling checker to accept as correct.). Word shares custom dictionaries with other Microsoft programs, such as Microsoft Outlook. Create or add a custom dictionary Create a new custom dictionary On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab. Click Custom Dictionaries. Click New. In the File name box, type a name for the custom dictionary. Click Save. In the Dictionary list box, select the new custom dictionary. Activate the custom dictionary. How? In the Custom Dictionaries dialog box, make sure the check box beside the dictionary's name is selected. On the Spelling & Grammar tab, clear the Suggest from main dictionary only check box. Add an existing custom dictionary The Custom Dictionaries dialog box lists the available custom dictionaries Word can use to check spelling. If the dictionary you want to use — for example, one you purchased from a third-party company — is installed on your computer but not listed in the Dictionary list box, you can add it. If you need help installing a third-party dictionary, see the installation instructions for that dictionary. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab. Click Custom Dictionaries. If the custom dictionary you want isn't in the Custom Dictionaries box, click Add. Locate the folder containing the custom dictionary you want, and double-click the dictionary file. If you want to make this dictionary the default dictionary, click the dictionary name, and then click Change Default. Activate the custom dictionary. How? In the Custom Dictionaries dialog box, make sure the check box beside the dictionary's name is selected. On the Spelling & Grammar tab, clear the Suggest from main dictionary only check box.

534534	2007-03-21 09:20:00	Bryan...That sounds like it. Thanks. I will look for a well known free Dictionary to download. PJ	Poppa John (284)
534535	2007-03-21 09:22:00	PJ if you find one please post as I would be interested too.	Bryan (147)
534536	2007-03-21 09:32:00	PJ. Just looked at Scouse's suggestion at www.wordweb.com. Brilliant, all you will need I think. All you do is put the mouse pointer over the word, press Ctl and there you are.	Bryan (147)
534537	2007-03-21 16:12:00	PJ . Just looked at Scouse's suggestion at www.wordweb.com. Brilliant, all you will need I think. All you do is put the mouse pointer over the word, press Ctl and there you are. In a Word document, a miss-spelt word shows in RED. Then you goto spellcheck & correct it. This is what I want to do. Have also downloaded WordWeb & will try to get it to work with MS Word. PJ	Poppa John (284)
