I used the CSAPI Spanish and UK English spell checkers with Office 97 for some time without any problem. When I upgraded to Office 2000 I could not use them on my desktop but didn't have a problem on my laptop. Finally, when I upgraded to Office XP (which I use now) they wouldn't work either on desktop or laptop. I don't recall exactly where I got the solution from, probably from this list a long time ago. The thing is that I have a "Proof.zip" file that contains the following: mssp2_es.lex (Spanish dic.) mssp2_en.lex (UK English) Mssp232.dll (CSAPI engine?) spelling.reg (Registry keys for everything to work) The dictionaries and the engine I think are from my Office 97 but, in any case, better than the ones included with TB. The registry key settings (or the idea or explanation on how to set them) if what I got somewhere else. Maybe from this list, as I have said, but not sure. What is sure is the I did not "invent' them. Just a few weeks ago I got a new computer and installed everything from scratch, including Office XP (i.e. I did not upgrade from 97 to 200 and then to XP). Then I placed 'my' dictionaries and engine in the directories called for in the registry settings in 'spelling.reg' and finally imported 'spelling.reg into the Registry and I have full access to both CSAPI dictionaries from TB. I have not tried (yet) to use the equivalent dictionaries from Office 2000 or XP, but I assume they will not work. But who knows. Anyway, if any wants to try (at your own risk, of course) this is the content of my 'spelling.reg' (watch out for possible wrapping of long lines either at my or your end): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\1034] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\1034\Normal] "Engine"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\MSSP232.DLL" "Dictionary"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\mssp2_es.lex" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\1034\Normal\Clients] "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\MSSP232.DLL"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\2057] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\2057\Normal] "Engine"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\mssp232.dll" "Dictionary"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\mssp2_en.lex" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\2057\Normal\Clients] "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\MSSP232.DLL"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\Vendor] "Inso"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Proof\\MSSP232.DLL" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling\Vendor\Clients] "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.EXE"="" -- Best regards, Miguel A.
