Word Spell checking in a foreign language

mayhem# · 2002-05-13 13:13:03

Lads, I need Word (XP) to spellcheck a document that's wriiten in Dutch. Can't really seem to find a solution to this quickly. Does anyone know how to do this?

MS sell a product called the Office 2002 Proofing Tools pack

http://www.microsoft.com/catalog/display.asp?subid=22&site=10989&x=21&y=17

It's 79 dollars to buy but does have proofing tools for 48 additional languages.

My Office package, as far as I remember, came with English, French, Spanish only.

Best other option is if someone out there has a Dutch Office or just reads Dutch?

Yeah, I know about the proofing tools but I'll de damned if I pay $79 for that. I have a Dutch copy of Office XP somewhere but don't know what will happen if I stick it on a machine that already has a English copy on it...
