Re: Office 2003 and Proofing Tools 2003 problem

You need to purchase the Office language pack from a Microsoft Retailer. As you said, you only get English, French and Spanish out of the box (this obviously varies depending on your locale).

I have office 2003 (comes with proofing tools for English, French and Spanish).

I needed Italian so have additionally installed Proofing Tools 2003.

It does not appear to check my Italian documents for spelling or grammar.
Where am I going wrong?

Details:
If I open Word 2003 and go: Tools/language/set language
Info box shows Italian above the line break and tickedABC.

If I go:
Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/Office 2003/Change/Add or remove Features/Advanced customisation/Office shared features/Proofing Tools. This shows only the three default English,Spanish,French. If I further click on Update it does 'something' but doesn't say what, and afterwards the language set is unchanged.

Open Word and open an Italian document with obvious spelling and grammar errors nothing happens.
No red or green error signifiers as per a document in English.

Clicking 'check spelling' button produces 'document spell checked ok'. but clearly it hasn't.

Please advise
