Go to Word's Preferences and check to see if Custom Dictionary -- with language set to None -- is selected. Also be sure the Custom Dictionary is at the top of the list of dictionaries. Entourage can only access the top dictionary in the list. Go to MS Word/Preferences/Spelling & Grammar/Custom Dictionary, and browse again to your Custom Dictionary. You're best leaving language as (none). Restart your computer. Now, try Entourage again. -- Diane Ross MVP Entourage (MVPs are volunteers) Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
