Thanks, mate. This is the best attempt yet. But I do have both the US and
Aust installed, and it only happens with some files. Next time it happens, I
will try changing the language (dictionary) and see what happens. On
further thought, however, if that file was on my disk (and I do have both US
and Aust) then surely it would be found...

Proofing of documents are fully compatible if they are all set to the same
language. Check that the language setting is correct for particular
documents that are giving this message. The error indicates that Word is
looking for the spell-checking .dll which it cannot find. If other
documents
are working correctly, it would suggest that Word is looking for a
language
not installed (e.g. you are using English (US) and the document is in
English (AUS) or something along those lines.
