    1. [CFTW] did it upgrade?
    2. MJ
    3. I downloaded the 3.07 upgrade file. When the upgrade started it first asked about dictionaries?, and since I only work in French and English, I 'unchecked' all the boxes but those two on the left window. When I clicked on continue the program proceeded to spend about 10 minutes 'updating'? languages I dont use. After about 12 minutes I stopped the process, and thought I had stopped the upgrade. What's going on? I don't want valuable memory space used to store a collection of languages of the world I will never use. How do I keep just french and english and the other stuff out of memory.. Why do I need a dictionary I don't use in this program anyway? It didn't do this when I started up 3.05 so I was not expecting this 'enhancement' Even though I interrupted the dictionary thing, I still got some sort of upgrade. It says 3.06x ?? Mike

You are confusing two things: Dictionaries and Languages. You are really talking of the Languages and not Spell Check Dictionaries. Things were going fine if you would have left it alone. You likely need to re-install as the language files are likely now corrupted because of you breaking out of it. What happens when you remove all the other languages is the program must now go through them all and delete them - and it takes quite some time as there are many hundreds of records for each language. I normally recommend that users simply leave all languages there. You got the message because of an upgrade. First install will not give you this language selection. The eral purpose of it is to allow people who have made changes to their own language to keep their changes (by selecting items on right) without having it overwritten by the language that is int he program. If you do not remove any languages there is no wait process. It is quick. I realize that the 2 tps files are 4 megabytes, but removeing all but a couple of languages will still probably be about 1 meg (due to internal compression) so you really only gain about 3 meg - which really isn't much space now-a-days. But if you really need that space, then do what you did and be prepared to wait a while for all the other languages to get deleted. Ira ------------------------------------------------ Mr. Ira J.
