Spelling and Grammar question
I have Office 2003 Proffessional with Microsoft Word (11.6568.6568) SP2
installed in my computer. I use American English for my writings. When I first try to use the spelling and grammar for my Word typings, I get the following message: "Cannot find proofing tools for Dutch (Netherlands). If you have the prooofing tools, try installing or reinstalling them....For more information, see the Microsoft Office site" Then the following checking try's just tell me that the spelling checking has been completed, etc. I wonder why the English spelling checker is not working (and why do I have the Dutch?), and also, how can I fit this without having to reisstall my program again? Thanks in advance. |

Spelling and Grammar question
When you say that you are using "American English" are you saying that you
have set the Language to that? It may be that the Language is set to Dutch and because the Dutch Proofing Tools are not available, you are getting that message. -- Hope this helps.

Spelling and Grammar question
Dough, can you advise how or where do I set the language to American English
in the context of what you are referring to so my Spelling and Grammar works in that language? "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Spelling and Grammar question
Doug, I write in American English, but from what you are saying below, it
appears that some of my settings have to be changed, so please advise, if you think that is what my problem is. "Octavio" wrote in message ...
