word 2007: german post-reform-rules "Helmut Schmalzl" <helmut[ at ]nospam.at> 06.06.2006 15:54:47 Hi experts! I have a problem with word 2007 and spelling. I have installed the english version updating my office 2003 pro with ptoofing tools to office 2007 beta2. I want to use the german-post-reform-rules which I have chosen in the word-options - proofing dialogue. I am sorry but this does not work. Word still suggests the pre-reform rules and marks my post-reform-writing as failure. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in adcance (and pardon my English)! Greetings from Austria Helmut

RE: word 2007: german post-reform-rules Andrea Jessee 19.06.2006 15:27:02 Hi Helmut, Unfortunately, you have come across a current issue with upgrades of English Office 2003 versions to a German Office2007 version via "proofing tools". We are currently in the process of repairing the upgrade process such that it will function as you expect it to. In the mean time, may I suggest that you try to install the German version of Office2007 which is available for download on: http://www.microsoft.com/germany/office/2007/beta/betaversion-bestellen.mspx If the download time due to the large program size is prohibitive, you may also order a DVD which would incur some fees for shipping and handling. Also, please know that the current issue of the C't magazine includes a free copy of the German Office2007 Beta2 version. I assume that this popular German computer magazine is also sold in Austria, my apologies, if I am mistaken. (I was actually born in Vienna, Austria, but that was long before computer magazines :-) ). With personal greetings to my former home country ... Andrea :-) "Helmut Schmalzl" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi experts! > I have a problem with word 2007 and spelling. > I have installed the english version updating my office 2003 pro with > ptoofing tools to office 2007 beta2. > I want to use the german-post-reform-rules which I have chosen in the > word-options - proofing dialogue. > > I am sorry but this does not work.

LEX to e.g. OLD_MSSP3GEA.LEX (or delete it.... but one never knows :-) 3. Make a copy of MSSP3GEP.LEX in the same folder and rename it to MSSP3GEA. LEX. Done. It's a bug in W2007 Beta2. Good luck
