Strange spelling message
Very weird! Try opening a blank documetn and use Insert, File to get the
problem document into a new document. Does the problem still recur? terry wrote in message ... : Tried that and lots of other suggestions; no go. Here is a summary of the : problem and efforts to fix it to date. Only *some* documents produce a : message when trying to spell check 'Cannot find MSSSpell32.dll' and later : '...mgr**32.dll' or similar. I know enough now to know that these are : language specific spell files probably on the document originator's HD and : not on mine. In the documents where this problem occurs the spell check : catches errors before the (foreign) word that invokes the problem, and not : after. It says 'Word has completed spell check' even when I've placed dummy : badly spelt words after. Now, here's the rub: if I now delete the foreign : words and indeed carefully check the document by hand and remove all : spelling errors, I still get the problem and the message. Changing the : language at my end does not help. Neither does pasting the document minus : the last para mark into a new document. So the document must have hidden : somewhere (not in the last para mark) in it a flag that says it needs a : certain language add-in. Where is this flag and how do I remove/change it? : Or, what is the language being indicated, and how can it be changed? : : "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message : ... : Tools, Language, Set Language and there are two check boxes at the bottom : of : the dialog. : : Terry : : wrote in message ... : : How exactly?
