Dictation muddle

[Pablo]

I am asking this again. Come on, there must be a boffin who can answer, please.
I can use dictation without problem in the spreadsheet and database
applications in Works 8.0 and Internet Explorer. However I am unable to
dictate into a document within Word 2002; it works OK in the help dialogue
box however. When trying to use it within a document, the Dictation tab
activates Voice Command, unless I open up Help and then it works fine but
only for help. Voice Command tab works normally in all applications I
mentioned. Already
re-installed Word.
I have tried all the help tips on the website.

Hi Pablo,

If you use Tools=>Speech does it launch the Language Bar in Word and is your computer language and keyboard set to U.S. English?
