Lacking Proofing Tools

[islandbrian]

Hey there,

I have upgraded to Office 2007 Professional on my WinXP machine. I am now
unable to spell check my documents. When spell check occurs, it states that
it is comlpete when there are clearly errors in the document. It offers no
suggestions for correct spelling. When I go to spell check I get this
message...

Can not find proofing tools for English Canada. If you have proofing tools,
try installing or re-installing them. Contact your local reseller to obtain
Office Proofing Tools. For more info, see the Microsoft Office site.

When I go to set language in Word. English US has a little check and ABC
beside it. Canada and UK English are selected as well, but there is no check
symbol.

Any quick suggestions so that I can get this working?
Thanks for your help
Brian

P.S the Office 2007 spell check does work on my Vista laptop.

In Word 2007, open a document that has this problem, press Ctrl+A to
select all of the text, and click on Review tab | Proofing | Set
Language | <choose your language> | uncheck the "Detect language
automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default |
OK. Then press F7 to rerun spelling and grammar checks, and save the
document.

Hey again,

I did what you suggested and I still get the message...

It appears that I am lacking the UK and Canadian dictionaries. More
precisely, the US English is the only one I seem to have.
Where can I get the others. Can I copy them from my laptop? Where could I
find the UK and Canadian Dictionaries?

Thanks agian
