Release to manufacturing.

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwar...ase_life_cycle

Microsoft and others use the term "release to manufacturing" (RTM) to refer
to this version (for commercial products, like Windows XP, as in, "Build
2600 is the Windows XP RTM release"), and "release to Web" (RTW) for freely
downloadable products. Typically, RTM is weeks or months before General
Availability (GA) because the RTM version must be burned to disc and boxed
etc.

I can't say for sure if it will work with Office 2000. I haven't run into
that as yet.

I have been using the Vampirefo spell check with my last three machines with
no problem at all.

Thank you for this information.

I tried third party spell checkers once before and they caused problems so
I
think I prefer your work around. Office 2007 replced Office 2000, does
this
make any difference to the detail of your work around?

You're welcome. Don't expect anything to be *fixed*. Since many people never
had Office, and Outlook Express never had its own spell check, and is no
longer being produced, there is nothing to fix.

Thanks Bruce!
I used your option "C" (using my old Office XP 2002 English dictionary) to
correct the "Fench Only" selection for spelling check in OE on my new,
clean
installation. I just had loaded WIN XP Pro SP2 along with Office 2007 Pro
Plus and found this problem.

Your solution worked like a champ! Thanks. I hope MS will make a change
to
this software so others will not have to serch for the solution like I
did.

All the best,
Jerry
