Spell Checking in German

[Willem Overbeeke]

I"m using W/ME (English), Office2000 (UK), and Office2000 Proofing Tools to add proofing for Dutch, French and German. Within Office this works without a hitch for all languages.
A third party product I also deploy, EasyWebEditor, uses the office proofing environment for spell checking, by accessing the LEX and DLL-files through registry reference. This goes like a breeze for Dutch and French, but I have not been able to get German up and running, for the simple reason that I don't know the names of the German files corresponding to
MSSP_NL.LEX, MSSP_FR.LEX (dictionary) (MSSP2_EN.LEX for English
MSPNL32.DLL and MSPFR32.DLL (engine) (MSSP232.DLL for English
For German I expected to find similar files with *GE* in the name, but was not successful. All files I did try, produced errors or application hang-ups. Note again, that within Office all is well with German
I would be very grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction
Regards, Willem

The short form for "German" is frequntly "DE" for deutsch."
Does that exist?

Does not help. First of all, there are no appropriate LEX and DLL files with DE either. Furthermore all other files (like grammar, hyphenation and thesaurus have GE in the name

Again, what is bizarre is that within Office (Word, Outlook) the spell checker DOES work as expected. I only cannot find the appropriate file names for my registry keys "engine" and "dictionary"

Any other suggestions ?

Hi, Willem.

Nothing useful, I'm afraid.

But I guess I misunderstood: So, the functions all work
OK in Word & Outlook, but the files aren't there? Hmm.
Sometimes I find stuff in places I would never expect -
and, since the Geman files must BE there in order to
function, maybe they are just elsewhere.

I might have a clue. You have inspired me to try to set up
my own German functions. I'm not doing very well. But
here's the clue: at some point, I was told that the
system "cannot find mssp3GE.dll or mssp232.dll." There's
the name of a "GE" file. Maybe you can search for it.

viel Glueck!
