Word translation with mouse hover

Question

When I hover over a word in IE or other apps, I get a translation to Spanish in a small window attached to the mouse.   Anyone know how to control this feature?   Smooth

Do you also have MS Office installed?  You may have Spanish loaded as a second language in Office.  From the Start Menu, choose Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Office Tools -> Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.  I'm just speculating, but IE and Office seem to be quite entwined, so any Office settings (e.g., in my case, script debugging) are also set for IE and vice-versa.   -EW

Yep. MS Office 2003. I have English as the first language and German as the second, no Spanish.

I do remember clicking some box somewhere that turned this little cursor thingy on, but can't remember where... I looked through the IE stuff, and there's no box there that does that...

Where can it be?

Have you installed any third party toolbars or the like? I don't think that facility is available in IE itself.

Nope.  Only the Google toolbar and that is set to English.  I think it comes out of Office 2003?  That's why I tried to post on this forum...   Smooth

Ah, maybe. I don't have Office 2003, only Office XP. Maybe it's an added 'feature'. I don't use the Googlr toolbar either.

Hi Ron,

Sorry to bother you again on this. I followed your directions exactly, going to the website and following their import information. Here is what happened: I opened the import wizard and selected the .pst and then they asked me for the path. I did a search to find the folders and the path for them were all similar, this is one of them: C:\Documents and Settings\Steve Spiegel\Desktop\Desktop\08.25.04

When I went to hit next, the dialog box came back and said I do not have authorization to import this. It was Outlook with a big red X. I tried most of the others and the same message came back-

Is there something I can try next to get this important contact folders data back?

Many thanks,

Steve
