Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi David,

German & english spellchek works with:
Windows 2000 engl. + Office 2000 engl. (Full installation)

German & english spellchek does not work with:
Windows XP ger. + Office 2000 engl. (Full installation)

Do I have to buy a seprate product to have both engl & german spellcheck
?????

Shouldn't be necessary... Could you give us some details on how the German
proofing tools were installed on the two operating systems?


I have not installed any proofing tools separately.
I have installed office 2000 (FULL Installation)

On the German OS: are you saying spell check isn't working at all? What
message do you get when you press F7?


Word cannot find the gramer file msgr2ge.dll or msgrge32.dll for german
(germany)

Well, your English system shouldn't be able to check German, unless you've
installed the German proofing tools explicitly. And these aren't part of the
English language package, so they have to have been obtained and installed
separately. Either as the Office Language Package or the language MUI, which
is only available to customers with a particular kind of license.

you have to figure out how the German spellcheck got onto the English OS
machine...

Or you have to buy a separate product. But Microsoft is no longer producing
anything for Office 2000, which means you'd have to look for it on Ebay or
something similar.
