Italian spell checker Steve Lewington 29.03.2006 07:15:02 Hi, I am having problems with Word and Office 2000. I need to be able to spell check in Italian. I have installed Office 2000 sp3, Language pack and the Italian Grammar update. After a reboot, Word displayed abc next to Italian in the set language option of the menu bar. However, when spell checking the document, it is only picking up the grammar, and not the typos. I have even tempted word my adding rogue letters in to words, but this has not been picked up. I have installed all of the custom dictionaries supplied by the Language Pack. Any help would be greatfully received.

RE: Italian spell checker Steve Lewington 29.03.2006 09:53:02 I have managed to sort this out by installing Office 2003 and then the language pack on top of that. Appears as if there was a bug in Office 2000.

If the language pack you had is working correctly with Office 2003 then it is almost surely the one developed for that version, and that would explain why it didn't work correctly with Office 2000! FWIW, the language pack for Office 2000 hasn't been available for quite a few years, and you have to work hard to find one for Office XP. Most places only sell the pack for the current version (2003).
