Spelling checker tries to find German proofing tools
I live in Germany but have the English version of Windows XP and the English
version of MS Office 2007. When I open a new Word 2007 document and enter an ENGLISH text and then use the "Review - Spelling & Grammar" function I get the error message "Cannot find proofing tools for German (Germany). If you have the proofing tools, try installing or re-installing them. Contact ..." What should I do to have the installed English proofing tools work fine. I don't want use the German proofing tools, it is of course not installed. I want use only the installed English proofing tools. Interestingly, when I open an old Word document with English text the "Review - Spelling & Grammar" function works fine. Only when I want create a NEW document I have the above mentioned problem. Thanks for your help. |

Spelling checker tries to find German proofing tools
I've found the solution. I use a German keyboard and so Word assumes that I
enter text in German language and so in the Language Settings of Word "German (Germany)" is selected even if I enter text in English.
