Hi again
I was trying to find a programme that would be similar to Microsoft Office
Proofing Tools but for Office 2007. I work with different European languages
(incl Russian) and it doesn’t seem to me that spelling and grammar for other
than English languages are automatically checked by the programme. Is there
any chance to download / install it?
Cheers

Good news for some (though of course there are others who don't like it) is
that the Proofing Tools for 2007 are sold in separate Language Packs. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/HA102113691033.aspx. Note that,
while the Language Packs include everything needed to change the entire UI
and Help for Office applications to a different language, you can choose to
install just the proofing tools.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Did I understand it correctly that in order
to install just the proofing tools, I will still need to buy the Language
Packs? or are they are available for downloads separately? (I just need
spelling and grammar for few European languages keeping the English interface
untouched.) Thank you

You will need to buy the $25 Language Pack for each language you need
proofing tools for, but you can then install only the proofing tools from
each language.

If you still have a copy of the proofing tools for Office 2003, that can be
made to work with Office 2007
http://www.gmayor.com/office_2003_proofing_tools.htm, otherwise you will
need to purchase the individual language packs as suggested by Suzanne.
