I have recently purchase a new laptop with MS works 8 preloaded (OS = Vista).
I need to have a French spell-checker to work alongside the word processing program (Word). Does anyone know if the MS download for Office is compatible with the Work 8 Word programme. if not, any thoughts on a way round eg third party software, or is it a case of upgrading to MS Word proper? look forward to hearing from someone. Thank you |

Microsoft Works 8.0 includes a word processing feature, but that feature
is not Microsoft Word. Steve wrote: I have recently purchase a new laptop with MS works 8 preloaded (OS = Vista).

Thanks for this. Look as though I will have to buy a standalone version of
MS Word. "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: Microsoft Works 8.0 includes a word processing feature, but that feature is not Microsoft Word.

Unless you insist on having Word 2007 (or even 2003), your best bet is to
upgrade to Works Suite, which includes Word 2002 and five other useful program for less than the cost of standalone Word. See http://www.microsoft.com/products/wo...s.aspx?pid=001 -- Suzanne S.
