Sylvia, where did you buy the dictionary and thesaurus from? Was it a website such as Humanware?

Cheers, Steve

Dear Terry  & list,

The installation of the Dictionary and Thesaurus comes with very easy to follow steps when installing. You must however be running Keysoft 7.2 or greater.

Terry, I noted you are on Ks  7.00.

You only need to do the installation once and after that it truly is a breeze to use, and well worth purchasing.

Write to me off list if you still want step by step guidance.

hth,  Sylvia.

Hi Brian;
I have been skipping around, lately, and I noticed people had
problems
installing the dictionary.  I want to get the US dictionary.  I
need
someone who has successfully installed it to give everyone the
steps.  I
am using an M-power BT 7.0.
I would have thought you would just put the card in when needed.
I do
not remember any mention of any talk of any installation when it
went on
the market.

Terry Powers

Ottawa Canada

Dear Scott:

Well I'm in Canada and my Mpower is set to use 24-hour time and
UK date format but I ordered the US edition of the Oxford Concise
Dictionary.

The US edition used the Mpower's synthesizer to provide
pronunciations of the words in the dictionary, while the UK
edition uses recordings of a human voice for the pronunciations
of dictionary words.

In general do you spell:

Cheque with a "q"
Colour with a "u"
Programme the British way
Etc.

Here in Canada, some people use US spellings while others swear
by British spellings!

Like the T. Eaton Company used to list draughting supplies in
their semi-annual catalogue instead of drafting supplies!

That is d-r-a-u-g-h-t-I-n-g VS d-r-a-f-t-I-n-g supplies!

But they sold cookies, not biscuits.

Its too bad the two editions of the dictionary are sold
separately, as I often tailor my spellings to my audience, e. g.
use US spellings in correspondence with Americans, and British
spellings in correspondence with countries where they prefer
British spellings.

Take care.

I love my spell checker in MS Outlook!  It catches many spelling
and capitalization errors.

Brian
