I've found the solution. I use a German keyboard and so Word assumes that
I
enter text in German language and so in the Language Settings of Word
"German
(Germany)" is selected even if I enter text in English.

I live in Germany but have the English version of Windows XP and the
English
version of MS Office 2007.
When I open a new Word 2007 document and enter an ENGLISH text and then
use
the "Review - Spelling & Grammar" function I get the error message
"Cannot
find proofing tools for German (Germany). If you have the proofing
tools, try
installing or re-installing them. Contact ..."
What should I do to have the installed English proofing tools work fine.
I
don't want use the German proofing tools, it is of course not installed.
I
want use only the installed English proofing tools.
Interestingly, when I open an old Word document with English text the
"Review - Spelling & Grammar" function works fine. Only when I want
create a
NEW document I have the above mentioned problem.
Thanks for your help.
