MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / December 2006MS MUI for German Spellcheck does not work anymore
I installed the Proof Languages (muisetup.exe) and they apparently were installed without problems. No error messages. But when I use MSOffice 2003 Pro and do a spellcheck for German, I first highlight the text, then select languages under Tools, select German, then go back to Tools and want to do the Spellcheck. It shows all kind of languages. oodles of French, but no German. Spanish yes, English yes, no German and THAT is the language I chose when I installed Proof Languages. What gives???? Proofing Tools != MUI; they are two separate features....

What happens if you press F7 after formatting the text as German? Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Now I cannot tell you anything, because I re-installed MSOffice Pro 2003 and then the WindowsXP Multinational User Interface Pack. BUT - whereas before I at least could see the different languages, when I typed something in Outlook and went to Spelling, now I only see English. I see no German, which I checked to be installed with English when I put in the CD for Multinational etc. Now I am totally confused. > Hi Ritter197, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi Ritter197, > Now I cannot tell you anything, because I re-installed MSOffice Pro 2003 and > then the WindowsXP Multinational User Interface Pack.

That will make a different with what spelling tools/languages are available. Also, please check in Windows Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/Languages/Details: which is set as your default language? Are any other languages listed? The, go to START/PRograms, look for the entry for Microsoft Office, then for the Tools, and under that the Language Settings. Which languages are in the enabled list? If some of the languages you want to use aren't in that list, add them to the list.

I do use MSWord as e-mail editor. 2. Under Advanced in the Control Panel I have checkmarks in the following: 1000 Mac Roman (greyed out though), 1141 IBM EBCDIC Germany 20273+ Euro,1250 ANSI Central Europe (greyed out),same for 1251,1252 through 1258,then 1361(all greyed out),same for 20262, the 20273 IBM EBCDIC Germany(not greyed out),28591 (greyed out), 37 IBM EBCDIC US/Canada (not greyed out), 437 (greyed out), 500 IBMEBCDIC International (not greyed out), 50220 through 52936 (greyed out), 57002 through65001 (all greyed out) 3. I went there and selected German. It installed them but when I go to Outlook and type this: "Hierr habben wirr gernn ein feines Weihnachtsfest" And then select under Tools Languages and then German, it first says it cannot find the German but then says the Spellcheck is ok and finished (not suggesting any corrections) Can you see why things are driving a man to drink?

I meant in the Settings tab. Which languages are under "Installed Services"? > 3. I went there and selected German.

So German was NOT in the list of enabled languages when you entered here? But then you added it to the list? > And then select under Tools Languages and then German, it first says it > cannot find the German but then says the Spellcheck is ok and finished (not > suggesting any corrections) Now try opening Word directly. Let's forget Outlook for the moment, as I'm not familiar with using Word as the email editor. You have a new document in front of you. Go to Tools/Language/Set Language. Which language is selected? If it's not German (and it won't be if that's not set as your default language for windows), close the dialog box. Type some text and select it. Go back to the dialog box and choose German as the language. Close the dialog box and press F7 to force a spell check. What happens?

I open MSWord 2. I typpe some German with purposely mispelled words 3. I go to Tool and the Language. 4. I see German (Austria) , German (Germany) and select the latter 5. I highlight the text and go back to Tools and select Spelling. 6. I see oodles of French, Spanish but NO German. Is that what you wanted you tried? Thanks for help. > Hi Ritter197, > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi Ritter197, > Here is what I am doing with your suggestions: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Is that what you wanted you tried? One major difference: 2a. I select all the text (Ctrl+A) before going to step 3. As to steps 5 & 6: I assume you're referring to the dropdown list "Dictionary language"? If you're not seeing German in that list, then the German proofing tools haven't been installed. Are you able to switch the Office interface (menus, help, messages) to German? This would also be done using the Microsoft Office Tools/Microsoft Office Language Settings (NOT in Word! In Windows) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) I forgot to mention, that when I write in Outlook and then go to Tools and Spelling, I see English, a lot of French, then Spanish, not one for German. > Hi Ritter197, > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > reply > in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
