Hi Arthur
Sorry but no luck so far, answers to your questions follow

Yes ABC icon is there
 
> Check the file dictionary.lst
> You will probably find it in "c:\program
> files\openoffice.org1.0\user\wordbook\"
> Use Notepad to edit the file.
> There should be a line (probably the last line) that says:

> DICT en UK en_UK

there's GB, not UK but changing GB to UK meant that I lost the ABC icon.

Might be that the dictinstall program didn't install dictionary correctly.

Where do the dictionary files live?
Can I install manually?
If so what's the procedure?

Thanks for your reply and sorry for all the questions!!

TIA
Nick
