Correct, spellcheck is not included the Japanese proofing tools for
Office 2003. See
http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...fingtools.mspx
for more information.

1. The latest version of Office proofing tool does not have Japanese Spell
checking capabilities. Is that correct?
I am looking for Japanese dictionary to spell check Japanese text outside
of Office applications. I do not want to install whole office-word
application on the machine if other capabilities of word application is not
required.

2. Is there a site within Microsoft.com that explains how to use proofing
tools?

Thank You.
