Spelling and Grammer

[Elena]

Every time I try to do a spell check, I get a message
saying that it cannot find the spelling file and grammar
file. I've reinstalled Office XP twice...what can I do? I
have a thesis paper to submit in two days and I have this
problem now! Can anyone please help?

You can get this error message if Word thinks your text is in a language
for which you do not have proofing tools installed. To fix the problem,
open the document where this problem occurs, press Ctrl+A to select all
of the text, and click on Tools | Language | 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
spellcheck.
