Proofing Tools Not Installed

[sasha]

I can't spell check in Word because it says English Proofing Tools are
not installed. Where do I find them and how do I install them? I got
the CD from my employer so it is a full version.

They are on the installation disk. You may need to run the installer,
instead of drag and drop the application folder.

Hi Sasha -

The Proofing Tools are automatically included during a normal installation,
so unless you customized the install & specifically chose to *not* include
them they are most likely there somewhere Have you perhaps moved anything
(folders) around or deleted anything since the install? Unfortunately the
message we get don't always accurately describe the problem.

First, take a look at where the files should be:

Microsoft Office 2004/Shared Applications/Proofing Tools folder

More probable is that the tools are there, but that there is something about
some or all of the doc's language setting that is confusing the program &
preventing it from using those tools. Assuming that it *is* intended to be
all US English:

Select all the text, then go to Tools>Language select English (US), and make
sure to clear the checkbox labeled "Do not check spelling or grammar". If
you have further problems have a look here:
