Hello Ian, M I have a solution to used the Office 97 dictionaries without the need M of installing the package.

I look forward to it :-) Download http://www.rancho-k.com/download/Proof.zip and read the How to Use text file. It includes the UK English and Spanish dictionaries which are the ones I use.
