Hi Graham Peter and all, here is the message I was sent by Nick Dodson from the support team for K1000. "These are some notes from Stephen pertaining to Spell Check in Word issues pertaining to materials from K1000. Mayhaps it will get you going in an appropriate direction, even thought it doesn't necessarily directly address your question... W. Nick Dotson " To Spell check documents that have been created in Kurzweil 1000 and saved in Word 6.0-7.0 format, you should follow these steps. 1. Highlight the document with CONTROL+A. Not ALT+A as you specified in your message. 2. Go to Tools and select Language by pressing ALT+T followed by L for Language. 3. Select "Select Language" from the sub menu. 4. Select the desired language from the resulting list. Let's use "English/United States" for this example.You can get there by pressing the letter E 9 times or so. 4. Press ENTER to confirm the selection. 5. Unselect the document by using LEFT ARROW. and then press F7 for Spell Check. The spell checker will start no problem. (All being well) and you can carry on as if you were spell checking a Word document." Please note however, that the above quoted text does not exactly tell you whether you can make the change permanent for all K1000 documents you wish to spell check using the English UK dictionary, and I have asked Nick how this is done but he is not sure, and has accepted my offer to undertake some tests on that. So if anyone else using K1000 can help me with setting all K1000 scanned documents that have been opened in word, to use the English UK dictionary for spell checking I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
