Just by the way....not everyone is using the web version to see these
newsgroups--I'm using a newsreader and the physical arrangement of posts is
very different the way I have it set up, and others may have theirs set up
differently yet again--so "above" and "below" is not particularly
reliable--but quoted reply text is.

And your post quoted a post, but not the post you were referring to--and
quoted a post that had already been dinged for being vague with an equally
vague statement...and it's very difficult to give advice when one is
guessing what the problem is. That's part of why John had to write an
entire essay instead of simply telling you what to do (though he often does
that anyhow :)

Anyhow, I hope John has sorted your dictionary problems. If not, please
respond directly to his post with comments about exactly where it goes wrong
for you. E.g., "cannot activate the custom dictionary" might mean that you
cannot activate it in the Preferences dialog, or it might mean it refuses to
activate when you are running Spellcheck. You see how difficulty arises?

And just in case you aren't aware, OS X is now up to 10.3.8.
