When I click on the link, it opens up as an MS reader app on my pc. How can I get this to my ppc?

Cheers grentz the link was very helpful :D
I download and used the encarta and the English-Spanish, Spanish-English.


davewnyc : you simply beam ( using the IrDA ) the files you downloaded from your Pc to the memory card ( CF or SD ) on your PPC or if you havent got an IrDA port then you can transfer the files via the sync cable using your explorer ( make sure to copy them to the memory card )

Once the files are in your PPC just open the Microsoft reader and it will automaticly provide you with appropriate dictionary.

If you cant work it out come to ICQ and I will guide you step by step.

Big Smile got it

:D d-light, thanks so much for the info and the offer for additional help.....actually, I was having trouble locating it on my PC because I couldn't figure out where it was loading (when I clicked on the link, the download would happen instantly and a huge ebook would open on my PC). However, I did locate it in a temp folder and the transfer to my ppc worked just fine...
Have a great weekend and thanks again.;)

Encarta is a good dictionary. See above post for website. Small and easy to use.

Cheers m8, whatever I can whenever I can... :)

In order to prevent that unwanted "instant download" in the future just RIGHT click on the link and choose "SAVE TARGET AS"
and then you'll have that dialog box asking you where to save the file ( I usually choose the DESKTOP cause its easyer to locate )

Have a good one

Lextionary (http://revolution.cx/Pocket-PC-Dictionary.htm) is not free but is the best dictionary I've ever used on the PPC.
