Hello all, You do not need to install anything in any of TB directories. As far as I know, if you have MS Office 97 installed (at least Word) the CSAPI engine and dictionaries will be installed and TB will "see" them and make them available to you.
I don't have MS Office 97 currently installed, I have Office XP. But I kept a copy of the engine and dictionaries I wanted to use and installed then manually. I copied 'MSSP232.DLL' (the engine) and 'mssp2_es.lex' (the Spanish dictionary) to this directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof and then I entered (imported) the registry keys that you can see in 'Spelling_XP_en_C.reg.txt' attached. I am also including a screen grab of my options for CSAPI. And that is all. Anyway, I am including the 'Setup instructions' that I sent by PM to someone in this list and he got it working. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Intructions on how to setup MS Office 97 dictionaries and CSAPI engine to be used by The Bat! 1.- Open 'Spelling_XP_en_C.reg' in Notepad. 2.- Carefully look at file patths in Registry entries. You may have to change Drive letter and translate directory names like: Archivos de programa (Program Files) Archivos comunes (Common Files) 3.- Now place dictionaries and engine (dll) in the directories indicated by registry entries. 4.- Save modified 'Spelling_XP_en_C.reg' and Import to your Resgistry. 5.- Your 'new' dictionaries should now appear as an option next time you start TB.
