SUMMARY
When you want to use the United Kingdom (U.K.) version of the spelling
dictionary with Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, you must make sure that the
WIN.INI and MSMAIL.INI files are pointed to the correct .DLL files.
NOTE: The spelling lines are one continuous line. They have been wrapped in
this article for display purposes.
Microsoft Mail puts special Spelling and Custom Dict 1 entries into the
WIN.INI file (other Microsoft products share a single Spelling and Custom
Dict 1 entry). For example, Microsoft Mail adds the following three lines
to the [MS Proofing Tools] section of the WIN.INI file:
[MS Proofing Tools]
Spelling (Mail) 1033,0=C:\WIN31\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSPELL.DLL,
C:\WIN31\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSP_AM.LEX
Custom Dict 1=C:\WIN31\MSAPPS\PROOF\CUSTOM.DIC
NOTE: Microsoft Mail does not modify existing Microsoft Windows
applications to provide spell checking for the Mail clients.
The MSMAIL.INI file also needs to have the following entry:
[MS Proofing Tools]
Spelling=<keyname>
This entry specifies the name of an entry in the [MS Proofing Tools]
section of your WIN.INI file. This entry gives the path to the spelling
checker DLL file.
There is no default value. The purpose of this entry is to let Mail use the
same spelling checker you may already be using with another Microsoft
application, such as Microsoft Word for Windows.
