Word Dictionaries

[Adam Smith]

Hi all,
I had the German Dictionary installed in Office XP and now that I upgraded
to 2003 I only have an online Bi-Lingual Dictionary available for German. I
do have right-click word correction capability for German so I know that a
dictionary for German must be installed somewhere. I had the XP Proofing
Tools installed with all the German selected to Run From My Computer. When I
run XP proofing tools setup from the Control Panel to modify the
installation I definately have German stuff installed, including the
thesaurus.

I don't get why I don't have a local German dictionary listed in the
Research Options in the 2003 translation window. Does anybody know how to
just copy a dictionary from say another computer and just put it in with the
other dictionaries? I'm getting so frustrated with this that I just want to
install it on another computer and copy the file and put it where it needs
to be. I can't translate anything unless I am online and that sucks because
I have a slow connection.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Adam,

You may want to check with the folks in the MS Word
spelling and grammar newsgroup on this one as well.

There will be a new Office 2003 proofing tools set.
If the Office 2002 set was installed when you upgraded
to Office 2003 release version it 'may' work.
