hi people, hope you can help.
i recently did a HD wipe / clean install and had to store my Appleworks503 folder on iDisk during the transition. everything went well, but ...
now i can't seem to select the dictionary for spell checks ect.
i tried using Appleworks 'help' but i'm told it can't be found (even though it's sitting right there in my Appleworks folder).
anyone got the answer to this?
thanks in advance: posthumanus.

You need to run the Appleworks installer, so it can install the appropriate extensions.

thanks Aussiemac:
the problem of course is the ***holes who sold me the computer, gave me the OS9 install disc and the OS8.6 restore disk - the one with the appleworks folder (they�re now out of business so there�s no going back).
so in order to have a fully functional appleworks app on board i had to have OS8.6 installed on a back partition (which i originally had, by necessity)
i wanted only one partition so i stored appleworks on iDisk thinking i could download it later after my OS9 clean install.
didn�t work: tried to lift appleworks off the restore disk but this resulted in a clean install of OS8.6 overwriting OS9 and all my settings.
i went apeshit for 10 minutes but then remembered a friend recently went on a junket to set up 3 brand new iMacs for an airline display - took a longshot and gave him a call.
guess what - he had thoughtfully returned with 3 full OS9.1 software packages.
so my problems seem solved. i�m picking one up from him tomorrow.
the motto of course is �if it ain�t broke, don�t fix it� - but then i wouldn�t have ended up with OS9.1, iMovie2, Appleworks6(?) and whatever else might be waiting for me tomorrow.
thanks for your help though: i learnt a few things on this trip.
posthumanus.
