Can the OED be used with Microsoft Word 2000?

[Guest]

I would like to be able to use my Oxford English Dictionary as the default
program for spell check in Microsoft Office 2000. Is this possible?

You'll need to ask the manufacturer of the tool whether they provide an
Add-in interface so that it integrates with Word.

No, sorry.

The OED CD Version 3.1 enables you to look up words from within Word, but
OED does not yet produce a spelling dictionary for Microsoft Word that can
replace the built-in default.
