At the top of the list and at the bottom of the list, with a horizontal line separating the two at the bottom from the long list above which has the first two at the top? Like this: American English British English Danish Dutch British French German (New Spelling) German (Old Spelling) Italian Norwegian (Bokmal) Portuguese (Brazilian) Portuguese (Iberian) Spanish Swedish _____________________ American English British English In mine, I have American English at the bottom checked. And it does not flag email as misspelled. Now, as a test, I'm flagging (checking) American English at the top, instead. And sure enough, it does stop at email as misspelled, just as you said. If you don't have them twice, so that you can check the American English (or British English) at the bottom, you indeed do not have the CSAPI dictionary installed, as it says in Help/Index/Find/Dictionaries/Spell-Checker/--and scrolling down, the information that The Bat! automatically detects and installs CSAPI. Now, as we both know, the Help file is old, much of it not yet revised for v. 3.xx--some of it going back to 1.xx. Do you think you may have found a bug in v. 3.51.10, whereby TB! no longer automatically detects and installs the CSAPI dictionary from Office 97? Here's a copy-and-paste from what MIguel said to me on April 18, 2005, on how to know if I had both dictionaries installed: (TBBETA mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ******************************************************************** > Maybe you have both available.

From the bottom entry, selecting British English, I do see eng_uk.dic. Astounding. How I got it, I have no idea. However, I was running Word 97 when I got my first TB!, v. 1.61. ************************************************************************* So, what do you think, Greg? Should 3.51.10 have copied this for you from Office 97? If so, and it hasn't, either there's a bug in it or something has gone wrong locally for you. Sorry, if this is still no help. :( -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.51.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
