Entourage won't see the dictionary

I have four new Mac Pros that I have installed Office 2004 on. In Entourage
it would not spell check. If I clicked on the check spelling as you type box
it wouldn't stay checked. I finally noticed that it didn't see the
dictionary. But it also won't let me choose a dictionary. What could the
problem be? Is this an Intel thing? I've never had this happen before but it
does the same thing on every one of the new computers.

It's not an intel thing (or at list, I dont; see it on my MBP).

I would try the usual tricks:
- make sure everything is up to date (11.3 came out today)
- repair Permissions using DIsk Utility
relaunch Entourage, open a new e-mail, select all and try to see if you
can then select the language for the spell checker.

All that stuff had been done already. I had the probablem before yesterday
but as soon as 11.3 came out I tried it but to no avail.

Oh sorry, I'm not talking about a custom dictionary, my mistake.
