The difference between the Standard version of Office and the Professional
version is that the latter includes Microsoft Access which is a database program. To learn more about the subject that interests you, see http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...fingtools.mspx -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Those tools are identical between Home and Pro. For what you intend to =
do, far as I can tell, Home will serve you well. The major differences = between the two are network abilities; Pro has much mroe ability and = functionality. =20 If you go to microsoft.com and look over the two versions I think there = is a comparison page what will show you in a chart how they compare. If = not, Google should easily find something that would suffice. =20 Pop pia wrote: i just bought a computer and need office, but i don't know if i can use regular office or if i need office professional. i have to write papers in spanish and need the spelling/grammar-check feature. i don't know if this feature is available on all editions of office. can anyone help me out?=20 --=20 --- I may or may not know what I'm saying, but if I have nothing to say, that's what I say! |

As the others have said, any version of Word or Office will do what you
need. English versions of Word come with proofing tools for English, Spanish, and French; be sure that you install the Spanish ones. Then, when you need to spell check in Spanish, format the language as Spanish by selecting it, going to Tools | Language | Set Language and selecting Spanish. -- Suzanne S.

No, I'm serious. My understanding is that the English-language version
includes English, Spanish, and French proofing tools. I have not been under the impression that a different English-language version is sold in the U.S. and the U.K. (since the English proofing tools include both US and UK versions). -- Suzanne S.

How bizarre! Are you sure? Or do you just not have Spanish installed? See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=821416, which certainly seems to imply that English and Spanish are included with all English versions.* And my understanding is that the "English" proofing tools (except Australian) are the same for U.S., U.K., etc., differing only depending on your Windows locale setting. *"The following steps describe how to install the French and Spanish spelling and grammar tools that are included in the English version of Office 2003." -- Suzanne S.

I'll check this out as soon as I have some spare time. It may be the case you suggest because I go to great lengths to ensure that the only language installed on my computer is English (UK), but this seems to be a never ending battle as MS software tries to install everything as English (US) by default!
