Only one thing: I'm stuck with a US-style dictionary and thesaurus. We use British convections on spelling frequently, so this is very inconvenient when only the US dictionary is available. I cannot use the user dictionary because the document style and spelling will be inconsistent. Does anyone know how to obtain the British versions of the dictionary and thesaurus? Microsoft were very thoughtful when they released both types of dictionary with WORD v3.0, could Ashton-Tate do the same? I prefer using FWP to MS WORD by far, but I cannot make as much use of it as I would like without the alternative dictionary and thesaurus. ------------------- W.
