How do I add swedish dictionary to norwegian ver of Word2003?
If your regional copy of Word does not include the Swedish language proofing
tools - see http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...fingtools.mspx -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org deFon wrote: I am trying to install a swedish dictionary on a norwegian version of Word 2003.

We have fully licensed versions of MS Word in both Norwegian and Swedish. We only need to add a swedish dictionary to the Norwegian versions. IIs there a way to copy the dictionary from the swedish version to the norwegian version? I feel it's abit of a waste to pay $100 for 50 languages that are not used. Is there a way to work around this? Thank you in advance for any help or feedback. |

Hi ?B?ZGVGb24=?=,
We have fully licensed versions of MS Word in both Norwegian and Swedish. We only need to add a swedish dictionary to the Norwegian versions. IIs there a way to copy the dictionary from the swedish version to the norwegian version? OK, this does make a difference. After you've installed the Norwegian version and opened Word once (this initiates a few things). Put the Swedish CD in. Choose a "Custom" type of setup so that you can specify exactly what is installed. In the lists, make sure everything is set with the "red X" (not available). Now look for the Proofing tools (they're in one of the two "Office" categories - Shared Tools, I think). Set the proofing tools you want to install to "Run from my Computer". Now let Setup finish executing (and watch very carefully what it tells you it's going to install, because it may decide you really do want something that you do not!) Check in the START/Programs/Microsoft Office tree for the Microsoft Office Language Tools. Make sure Norwegian is in the list of activated languages. Start Word, type some text, select it, then Tools/Language/Set language and choose "Norwegian". Will spell check work?

Wouldn't, if you don't make sure the red X is set at everything, the swedish
version install over the norwegian one? I will wait until this last issue is resolved until I try what suggested. /deFon "Graham Mayor" wrote: "In the lists, make sure everything is set with the "red X" (not available).

Hi Graham,
"In the lists, make sure everything is set with the "red X" (not available). " Won't that uninstall those items that are already installed? Not having done this, I hasten to add, I would have thought that the setup routine would know what was installed and what wasn't? It shouldn't. We aren't going over the Control Panel and choosing a "CHange/Remove". This is a new setup. Everyone who's ever tried it has never reported a problem in this regard (although the proofign tools haven't always all worked on the first try).

Hi ?B?ZGVGb24=?=,
Wouldn't, if you don't make sure the red X is set at everything, the swedish version install over the norwegian one? No, it would install - for the most part - in parallel. But shared DLLs would be overwritten, so you'd end up with mixed language messages (or worse).

How do I add swedish dictionary to norwegian ver of Word2003?
The installation is not completely new.
We are adding the swedish dictionary from the swedish CD to an already existing Norwegian CD. But that goes for the same, right? deFon "Graham Mayor" wrote: Ah!

Hi deFon,
The installation is not completely new. We are adding the swedish dictionary from the swedish CD to an already existing Norwegian CD. But that goes for the same, right? It shouldn't be a problem, as long as you're careful to select only the proofing tools to be installed :-) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

What Graham meant is that the Swedish installation is a "new setup," as if
