How to find German Spellcheck in Word 2000
I work in texts that have large chunks of German text. When I use spellcheck,
WORD 2000 puts up a message saying that I don't have the German spellcheck files installed, and offereing me the chance to install them. It tells me to insert my disk. But on my disk there are no German proofing tools, just French and Spanish. Should German be there? If not, is it available for sale? |

Unless you have a German version of Word, you probably don't have the German
proofing tools, and I'm not sure whether proofing tools for Office 2000 are still available. See http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...e/proofing.asp for more information and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...oo gle+Search for the relevant Google search. http://www.zjzmpop.co.yu/id3.htm seems to offer free download of specific languages for Office 2000 (free), but I would treat this site with caution. -- Suzanne S.

It seems that the Microsoft Office Proofing Tools is no longer available. You say be wary of the site that offers a free download. I'm not particularly computer savvy, so don't know whether to even go there and look, or just stay away. Do you have a specific reason to be wary, or would you say that about any site? Sue |

I'm wary of sites that offer stuff for free, and this one triggered some
kind of funky popup when I went to it. Just a gut reaction. -- Suzanne S.

How to find German Spellcheck in Word 2000
hello, i am just wondering how you solved your proofing requirement? i am
trying to obtain a copy of the Office 2000 proofing tools CD but its proving (pardon the pun)near impossible; i live in Sydney, Australia regards Lionel Styles "Bilingual editor" wrote: "Suzanne S.

How to find German Spellcheck in Word 2000
If you're talking to me, I didn't have this problem, and the information I
provided in my reply is all I know. Since Office 2007 shipped, Office 2000 is out of support, so you'll be even less likely to be able to find the Proofing Tools package legitimately. -- Suzanne S.

How to find German Spellcheck in Word 2000
hi Suzanne, than you for your reply, sorry, i'm not sure whom i'm talking to,
i've never used this system before :-) i am aware that you can use proofing tools in any language that Word comes in; i have an english version of Word 2000, and i have proofing tools in French and Spanish (these come with the original standard edition of Office 2000) so i'm often typing up letters mixing English, French and German i also have enabled my system for the german keyboard so i can type in german no problem however, i need the proofing tools 2000 CD as that has the German proofing tool i had found that link you sent previously thank you, and have spoken directly to Microsoft, but they no longer sell it; the challenge is to locate somebody who has the proofing CD; its probably of little use to most people as most have upgraded i'm not looking to obtain it illegally, i'm quite happy to pay for it, and i want the original microsoft one rather than third party ones that i know are around there are also probably resellers out there who have copies sitting in old boxes in a warehouse and are about to throw them out its just a matter of trying to track one thanks again "Suzanne S.
