As far as I know Latin is not available in Word Mac 2008.

Search for Proofing
in Help (must be online).

Latin spell checking is available for Apple apps if you install CocoAspell and download the appropriate dictionary.

"Latin is a language, as dead as dead can be -- it's killed the ancient
Romans, and now it's killing ME!!"

That's about all I remember from my Latin classes :-)

And you are quite correct: Latin proofing tools are not available from
Microsoft for any of its applications, Mac or PC.

Cheers

I remember more, but it was mainly learned elsewhere, while testing the quality of local bier....

John,

Well, there is always the saying that I pondered as a stripling youth while
I yearned for the next French and science lessons:

Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditiones habes.

Cheers,

Aww... I remember that bit too... We used to sing that at assembly.

But we used to sing the clean words :-)
