Dorlands Medical Dictionary 2007

[Mac55]

I have recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007. I have received the
needed folder from Dorlands, however, Microsoft Office 2003 provided an
option to select Medical Dictionary under options that does not exist in
2007. Any suggestions??

Thanks,

Mac55

If the add-in is compatible with Word 2007 then its toolbar commands should
appear under the Add-ins tab on the ribbon. If it isn't you will probably
have to wait for an upgrade to the add-in. Your most logical source of this
information is Dorlands.

Graham,

I verified that Dorlands is an Add-in. Now, for some reason, when I
purposely misspell a word and perform a spell check, it finds no errors. I
did remove the Add-in for Dorland 2003.

Thanks,

Word's own spell check is dependent on the language set for the text. Select
the text (CTRL+A) then apply a language for which you have a Word dictionary
installed. You can do that either from the Review tab on the ribbon or the
language button on the Word status bar. Make sure the do not check spelling
button on the ensuing dialog is unchecked.

Graham,

That did not help either. I am also now getting an Assertion Error that
mentions speller in the error code.

Thanks,

I think you are going to have to go back to basics.

Start with http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
Make sure there are no remnants of the add-in - see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CheckIfAddinsInstalled.htm
then repair Office from the original installation CD (not from the hard
drive files)
Then work through the trouble shooting tips at
