Hi Dana,
You'd need a 3rd party proofing tool for Word 97.
One of the primary sources for that version is gone,
but you may want to check with the folks in the
Word Spelling & Grammar newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar
=======
Is it possible to set Word 97 to check the spelling rules
of another language... like Latin??? >>
