Hi
last time I wrote we were talking about extensions and about being reminded
over and over again about downloadable extensions we don't want. For
example, I don't want the American English dictionary as I use the
Australian English one. Someone suggested uninstalling the things you don't
want, and then you will not be alerted to downloadable upgrades, so, next
time I was asked if i wanted the latest American English dictionary upgrade
I clicked on the button which said "uninstall this extension" (this button
was in the extensions pop-up screen).
Now, in Outlook Express (Win XP) I cannot spell check my outgoing e-mails.
I presume that I have unwittingly uninstalled the dictionary the Outlook
Express uses to spell check e-mails. This surprises me as the OE dictionary
is a M$ product and I uninstalled from an OOo screen.
I would be much obliged if any of you can:
1. comment on what I might have done wrong;
2. tell me where the OE dictionary resides;
3. tell me what I need to do to regain spell check functinality in OE - ie
put a dictionary in a place that OE can both read and understand.
This information will also help me with my customers, as one of the
challenges in giving customers OOo instead of M$ Office is that they then do
not have an OE spell checker. I found one on the Internet but it is very
American - ideally, I would like an Aussie one if there is one available,
or, failing that, UK English.
Many thanks, James
PS please forgive any typos - no spell checker!!
