Are you using Word 4.0A? Supposedly 4.0 does not work with the foreign dictionaries and version 4.0A is required for those.

Must have been a novel experience for them. ;-) Unfortunately, at least in Germany you still can't buy the US dictionary. You also can't buy the US version. There are many people here who get thoroughly sick when seeing the "US->German Translated Computerese Normal Form" (which is German with English punctuation and haphazardly translated computer-specific words) and with US idiosyncracies replaced with German ideosyncracies instead of sensibly using the Script Manager. :-( Word 4.0 US also will behave very strangely when running under a German system (it examines the "language" integer from one of the INTL resources. A very annoying form of copy protection). I don't know whether this still holds for versions > 4.0, though. < -- Matthias Urlichs
