Can't find Photoshop Dictionary

[Jersey]

Excel is not seeing the photoshop (cs2) dictionary. I've reloaded office, I
have both office and adobe cs2 in the application folder.

Any ideas?

How are you trying to access/use/see the photoshop dictionary in XL?

What version of MacXL do you have?

FWIW, reloading applications is almost ALWAYS a waste of time for Macs -
applications just don't get corrupted. Files in the Preferences folder
(e.g., ~:Libraryreferences:Microsoft, where ~ is your home folder) can
get corrupted, but I don't know what that would have to do with
photoshop's dictionary.

If you're trying to choose the Dictionary from the dropdown in the XL
Spelling dialog, try typing the entire path and filename instead.

Sorry about the double post...j.v. mistake.

to clarify...using macros/tools/references: the photoshop reference
(dictionary) does not show up

Since the macros menu in XL doesn't contain a tools submenu, I'm
assuming you mean the Tools/References menu in the Visual Basic Editor,
right?

Can you not navigate to it using the Browse button? Make sure you choose
Type Libraries or All Files in the Enable: dropdown of the Add
References dialog.

I was thrown off by your use of "dictionary" - I'm more used to
references being called libraries.

Well you're seeing through my pretenses...if programming was sking, I'd be
on the intermediate slopes.

I can browse using the "Add References" dialog, but I'm not sure what file
I'd be looking for.

Thanks for your help and patience!

I haven't a clue - I've never had the occasion to automate Photoshop
from XL.
