Troubles: French Dictionary OS X Office

[Douglas]

Hello everyone,

Whoever helps me with this problem earns my undying love and
admiration.

I have installed word an the original software CD is currently
unavailable to me. I had trouble using the foreign language proofing
tools (in Word, they don't work; in Entourage, the seem not to exist)
so I tried using the MS Office Updates. 10.1.3 tells me that the
update cannot be installed because "the default location" is missing.

What does this mean? Does anybody know how I might fix it?

Thanks very, very much in advance!

This usually shows when one tries to install an update abd has not installed
the earlier update first - ie installing the 10.1.3 when 10.1.2 hasn't been.

If this is the case, you should know that you have to install the 10.1.2,
10.1.4 and 10.1.5 updates and in that order for the thing to work (10.1.3 is
"included" in 10.1.4 and therefore no more necessary).

In addition, the software updater will not install anything that is not
already installed, so if your French language is not already installed, you
will have to find that CD. Having installed French, you will need to
(must!) re-run the updater! It can't update anything that is not there.

Cheers
