How the particular dialog box selection that showed up to replace my > spellchecker got there, or where it came from I don't know. The sentence: "But this dictionary selection menu doesn't seem to be tied into the dialog box process because if I do choose one of the three, it's not reflected in the dialog box as a choice." doesn't make any sense to me. If it presents a dialog box asking you to choose your dictionary, then why don't you simply select "Main Dictionary"? It sounds to me like your preferences file was deleted or corrupted, and Appleworks just wants to know where the dictionary is located.
