Cannot find proofing tools

M

Michelle

I work with the IT department at my company and we have just upgraded all of
our users from Office 2003 to Office 2007.

One of our users is getting an error when she uses the spell check function.

The Error says:
"Cannot find proofing tools for Danish. If you have the proofing tools, try
installing or re-installing them. Contact your local reseller to obtain
Office Proofing Tools. For more information, see the Microsoft Office Site.

I have searched all over google for this and the solutions I have found keep
telling me to install things from the CD. But we didn't do the install from
the CD, we have it on our network just as a setup file.

Is there anywhere I can go on the internet to find these proofing tools to
download and install?

If Danish is a language that didn't come with your version of Office, then
you need to purchase the language pack from your dealer.

Do you need the Danish proofing tools? If not then in the Office 2007
Language Settings (found in the Start menu under Microsoft Office \Microsoft
Office Tools) and make sure the Enabled Editing Languages are set correctly.

If you need the Danish proofing tools then there is a Language Pack
available:

Regarding the "install from CD" instructions, you may have used a network
installation for Office but the installation files (CD) is around somewhere
since it would need to be used to create the installation point.

The document might be set to Danish or typed with Danish keyboard. If your
document should be in English, you can set language by
1. Select the whole document (Ctrl+A)
2. Goto Review tab > Set Language > English US > OK

Now your document will be tagged as English US. Hope this helps.
