Hi to everyone in this forum group.
I was looking for a way to change my dictionary after I begin to spell
a new message.
Basically, what I'm not able to do is to spell with a different
dictionaries just after I start to write a new message.
I mean, after I started to write a new massage how can I select my
favourite dictionary to spell for?

Thanks in advantage for any help.

Bye,
Stefano.

Is it the problem when it says everything is spelled correctly, but you know
it isn't? If so, I have had this problem for many years. Then I figured out
the fix was to highlight some or all and then it will actually check the
spelling.

OE uses the dictionary (Proofing Tools) of another application for this.
What application is your OE using?

CrystalBall© sez...

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

[More discussion: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80]

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/

If you have an earlier version of Office available as well, see:

@ BillW50
thanks for your help mate but actually it's not really what I was
pointing out
bye,
Stefano.

@ PA Bear [MS MVP]
hi mate and thanks to you too.
I knew about proofing tool and its relation with OE spell checker and
of course I have installed it.
I'm able to spell with no problem at all, what I was trying to figure
out is how to "shift" between two different dictionary at moment of
writing an email.
Bye and many thanks for all your help.
Stefano.

Doing some testing, I've found that in OE I can change the spelling
dictionary at Tools, Options, Spelling after I've started a message and
it will take the new dictionary.

BUT once I do a spell check on a message, the current dictionary will be
used and it will ignore any change in the dictionary selection.

So in that case, you would need to start a new message and copy/paste
from the old message to use a different dictionary.

One more time: What [application's proofing tools] is your OE using (e.g.,
Word 2003)?

<QP>
Tools, Options, Spelling, Language is where you select the language that OE
will use for
spell checking.

You can select only one language at a time, so they will need to change it
before they
spell check.

OE gets its spelling dictionaries from other Microsoft products such as Word
of Office.
If the language you need doesn't show in OE you need to install the desired
Proofing Tools
in Word of Office.
</QP>

Changing the language of the spelling dictionary is possible in Windows Live
Mail.
Add the Language Bar and the spelling dictionary is changed when you change
the keyboard language.

Hi Ron and thanks for your help.
where I can find the Language Bar? what about a Windows Live Mail?
I'm running Windows Xp Pro SP3 and my OE is the version 6 and I have
installed office 2003 plus proofing tools 2003.
Please give to me more details about your workaround.

Thanks,
Stefano.

To show the Language bar
Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click
Details.
Under Preferences, click Language Bar.
Select the Show the Language bar on the desktop check box.

Windows Live Mail is an email program. It can be used along with OE.
When you install WLM, it will remove the shortcuts to OE and make itself the
default email program.
You can still access OE by creating new shortcuts to msimn.exe.
WLM is a part of the Windows Live programs and will want to install all of
the live services. To only get WLM, you just uncheck all of the other
services. Will also want you to have a Windows Live sign-in, but it is not
required.
One of the differences with WLM is that each pop email account has its own
set of folders- Inbox, Sent items, Deleted items, Drafts, and Junk e-mail.
If you have more that one email account, a new message composition window
will have the address of the account that you are viewing in the From field.
It does not do like OE and use the default account.

The newsgroup for WLM is
