I have been using OOo since version 1.0, and Firefox ever since it was first
released.
However, the suggestion of using Thunderbird, from several users, is a good
one and I might do that. The only reason I use anything from M$ is that I
need to keep up to date for when my customers ask me Help Desk type
questions about their OE, Windows, or Word, although Having used OOo since
its beginning I am getting a bit "rusty" on Word.
Kind regards, James

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!!

To James and users: Why are you using OE, when you could have a much
better Browser and Email by using Seamonkey or Firefox and Thunderbird?
Secondly, why are you not using a FREE Suite called OOo ver.3 which will
both Read AND Write MSFT Office files? :-)
