ANyone know a good free DIctionary?

I currenty have Word Perfect and it is not the easiest word to use, but it came w/ Corel's Standard dictionary, which is a saver when writing paper. I will retire my old system soon and use Open Word in new one.

What I need is some sort of free dictionary that work will offline and not too complicate to make me install 100 others nonsense.

Thanks x.x

Could yu elaborate a lil bit on this. I just want a simple MS compatible Word w/ meybe some table of column and row. Other than that I do not really need anything else. WordPad is fine w/ me, but it does not has Spell-Check.

ALso Perk, yeah dictionary.com is a great site.

Lol, guinea pig -.O

AbiWord is an open source word processor that is compatible with Word (just pick the format you want the document saved in).
It's got spell-check and you can add a Dictionary by using the plug-ins.
If you want it to use other languages it will do that to.
And yes, it's free.
