I get the "Word cannot find the spelling file..." error
message when trying to spell check my Swedish document in
an Enlish version of Office XP. Do I really need to
purchase the Proofing Tools to get that working? Sounds
really crazy to me.

Thanks,
Anders.

U.S.-English versions of Office XP only come with English, French, and
Spanish proofing tools. If you need to spell-check in another language,
you will have to purchase the Proofing Tools CD and install the
language(s) you need.

If you live in US, you can order proof tools online:

Outside the United States, the Proofing Tools CD is available in stores.
