Re: Adding additional dictionary - MSDN Version

The English Office 2007 ships with English, French and Spanish spell checking. That's where you got the French one from.
Yes, this is necessary. If you don't want to install everything, you can extract the downloaded German language pack and only install the proofing part of it. Then you can also extract the full German B2TR and install the patch for the proofing tools from there.

Is all that really necessary, just to get a German spell checker & grammar
checker?

I don't want German menus or keyboards, just spell & grammar checker.

With updates, French & German packs were downloaded the other day. The
French one did provide spell checking, the German one apparently not.

Also, for completely different reasons I did uninstall Office 07 B2TR the
other day, wanting to get a clean reinstallation. I found that with Vista
RC1 I could not reinstall at all (as others had found too) & finally
reformatted the root drive & began with Vista from scratch.

Any help would be appreciated.
