Spell check in Word and Outlook
We received this message from an 86-year-old relative. The problem was solved
was on his computer, now needs to be solved on her computer, and we are two hours away. It almost sounds like they bought a foreign language version of Office, but that English is not a choice. Any solutions? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "She sent her first e-mail after you had installed the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. "The problem is that the spell checker flags every practically every word in the message even though they are not misspelled. "I remembered then that the technician who saved my data from the crashed old computer and then loaded up the new computer with various software found that the new spell checker had a problem in that it also checked as misspelled many words that were not. I vaguely remember that it seemed to have a French bias so the technician experimented to get it back into a purely English version - but somehow or other none of the tinkering worked, so he then, I think, somehow or other uninstalled the spell checker part of the new software and then went searching (in the Internet ?) for a new spell checker to replace the old one. He found one somewhere for free and downloaded and installed it. It worked very well but I was somewhat disappointed to find that it apparently didn't know nearly as many words as I know and in fact not nearly as many as I thought it should know. Of course over time I have kept adding new words to it so that it has become reasonably wortreich." |
