Default Suddenly Word Wants Foreigh Languages

If you don't have a CD (DVD) to install from, you can turn off AutoCorrect,
by clearing the "Replace text as you type" option on the AutoCorrect tab of
the AutoCorrect dialog box.

Hello Stefan,

I have a similar problem as Ray here, except this message pops up after I
switch to an Arabic keyboard on the language bar. I turned off
auto-detection of languages, but I still receive the first error he
mentioned, which I restated below. Any other ideas?

============
The list of common Arabic (Saudi Arabia) AutoCorrections is not available.
This feature is not currently installed. Would you like to install it
now?
|| Yes || || No ||
============

Thanks,
Daryl

Suddenly I have an anomaly that I have never had before. I've been
using
Word since Word 97. Currently in Word 2003. Occasionally when I place
the cursor in some previously typed text to add, change, edit, etc.,
when
I click I get a dialog box with the following:

============
The list of common Spanish (Spain-Modern Sort) AutoCorrections is not
available.
This feature is not currently installed. Would you like to install it
now?
|| Yes || || No ||
============

And a related anomaly that appears to come from the same problem is
this.
During spell check I had clicked "Ignore All" several times and I had
clicked other things like "Add to 'Dictionary" and "Change" then after
a
click on "Ignore All" it gave the following dialog with a Yes/No choice
at
the bottom:

============
Microsoft Office Word can't check the spelling or grammar in this
document.
This feature is not currently installed. Would you like to install it
now?
|| Yes || || No ||
============

After clicking the "No" button I got another dialog similar to the one
at
the top (for Argentina instead of Spain). The only button was an "OK"
button:

============
Cannot find proofing tools for Spanish (Argentina). If you have the
proofing tools, try installing or re-installing them. Contact your
local
reseller to obtain Office Proofing Tools. For more information, see
the
Microsoft Office Site. || OK ||
============

Then it went back to its regular spell checking and finished the
document
normally.

This is an ongoing problem, and it happens at seemingly unrelated and
indiscriminate times. It is driving me crazy. How can I fix this
short
of uninstalling Word and reinstalling it?
