The dictionary that OE needs comes from Microsoft Office products. If you
don't have Microsoft Office you won't have the dictionary OE needs to work
properly. You can purchase any Office product, for instance, Microsoft Word,
and you'll be good to go.

The Yahoo news groups might be a better place to get an answer regarding this.
