MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / January 2004What is the difference between Proofing Tools versions?
I had to upgrade from Office XP to Office 2003 (mainly because of high ratings of Outlook's email filter). But the Proofing Tools, Version 2002 refused to install. Does that mean I have to buy another copy? Come on, it's only a spell checker, why should I pay every time when I upgrade to the next Office version? The languages included in the Proofing Tools don't change at the same rate Microsoft changes the Office... Is there a way to avoid this injustice? Please don¹t reply to the address above it¹s a spam trap. If you want to send me a message you can do it via any of my sites below.

Your best bet is to - start with a "clean" system (no Office installed) - install Office XP - install the Proofing tools - install Office 2003 *over* Office XP (let it replace the Office apps) Office 2003 should pick up the proofing tools from the earlier installation. It won't provide all the functionality added in Word 2003, but you should still have the basic spelling and grammar check, at the very least. (And that is why Office 2003 has new proofing tools: new functionalities, especially the "Research" task pane.)

I followed the instructions above, and voila! Everything works, including Research, Translations, etc. Translations generated by WorldLingo are funny to say the least... Buy the way, here's a good guide to Translation Buyers: http://zima.net/docs/getitright.pdf Please don¹t reply to the address above it¹s a spam trap.
