I found the same thing. It's because M$ OE uses Word's dictionary. There are I believe still some alternative dictionaries available for M$OE which you might locate on Google, although M$ have done their best to kill off many. Try searching for something like "dictionary for Outlook Express".
I don't know of a way of using OOo's dictionary - that would indeed be great! And more convenient. If you have no success, contact me direct on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will try and locate the right file(s) and send them to you. I recently had to reinstall all this stuff so I know it works. BTW mine is the English UK dictionary - is that what you want?
