    • FAQ: Using Proofing Tools with Office 97
    Q #1: Do I need the Spanish version of Word or Office to write in Spanish and do spell checks in Spanish?
    A: No. To do a spell check in Spanish you only need to purchase and install the Spanish Proofing Tools kit. The Proofing Tools setup program will allow you to set up your new Proofing Tools spelling dictionary as the default spelling dictionary for Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Follow the steps outlined in the second question, below, to get Word to recognize your text as Spanish.
    Q #2: Why won't Word use my new language dictionary? The Proofing Tools setup program said it was successful, but only the original spelling dictionary loads.
    A: You must tell the spell checker which spelling dictionary to use.
    Microsoft Word and PowerPoint allow you to proof different languages within the same document. The spell checker will automatically switch between dictionaries when it encounters text with a different language format.
    You have to highlight each section of your document that you want to proof in the different language and change its language format.
    If this is a new document:
    1.Choose Select All from the Edit menu.
    2.Choose Language from the Tools menu, and choose Set Language. Click on your new language, then click OK. Do not change the default language. The whole document will now be formatted in your new language.
    If this is an existing document written completely in a foreign language:
    1.Choose Select All from the Edit menu, to select all of the text.
    2.Choose Language from the Tools menu, and choose Set Language. Click on your new language, then click OK.
    If this is an existing bilingual document:
    1.Select the first portion of the document that is in the foreign language.
    2.Choose Language from the Tools menu, and choose Set Language. Click on your language, then click OK.
    Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each subsequent portion of the document that is in that language.
    Q #3: Do I have to change the language every time I open a Word document to work on it some more?
    A: No. Once a language format is set in a Word or PowerPoint document, it remains that way, in the same way that a font or paragraph format does.
    Q #4: I do half of my Word documents in English and half in another language. What's the easiest way to switch languages without changing the default language all the time?
    A: Do Not use the Default button in Word's Language dialog box! There are two easy ways to automatically format text.
    If you type whole documents in a single language, create a Word template for each language you write in. Each time you wish to create a new Word document in this language choose New from File menu and click on the template formatted for the language you want to use. The document based on this template will automatically be formatted for the language. See the Language-Specific Templates article for information on creating this template.
    If you switch between languages frequently, use a different keyboard language for each language you type in. When more than one keyboard language is installed, an indicator appears on the Windows taskbar to tell you which keyboard language you are currently using. For any Office 97 application, you can switch which language you are typing in by clicking the indicator and selecting a different keyboard language from the pop-up list. See the Keyboard Languages and Keyboard Layouts article for information on how to take advantage of this feature.
    Q #5: When I try to do a spell check, I get a message that my application can't find the dictionary (or cannot find mssp2_**.lex).
    A: Several things can cause you to get this message. One possibility is that you don't have proofing tools for the specified language.
    The languages in the Language option of the Tools menu are just a list of possible additions. You can purchase proofing tools in many of these additional languages from Alki Software.
    Q #6: When I try to do a spell check, I get a message that the application can't open the dictionary.
    A: This usually indicates that the spelling file is damaged or it is the wrong file for your version of Office. If your spell checker works in most applications but not in Word try reinstalling Word; if the Proofing Tools have worked but are no longer functioning, try reinstalling the Proofing Tools.
    Q #7: How do I type special characters that aren't on my keyboard?
    A: Windows and Windows NT provide various keyboard layouts suitable for different languages. If you are using a standard keyboard you can use any of the keyboard layouts. Changing the keyboard layout affects how your keyboard works. The key next to the Return or Enter key is ' for the US English (Standard) keyboard layout, - for the US English (Dvorak) layout, á for Hungarian, ä for German, ù for French, and ` for French Canadian. It can take a long time to learn to touch type on a new keyboard layout!
    The US-International keyboard layout is arranged the same as the US English (Standard) layout. However, if you switch to the US-International layout you can use built-in shortcut keys and other keyboard features to type all of the characters you need to write in Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. For more information about installing and using the US-International keyboard, click here.
    Microsoft Word has many built-in shortcut keys for typing international characters. You can use these shortcuts with different keyboard layouts. To find out what shortcut keys are available in Word and to add shortcuts for the characters you type frequently, choose Symbol from Word's Insert menu. To see the shortcut key for a character, highlight the character.
    For all Office 97 applications, the approximately 220 characters that are most frequently used in Western languages have been assigned shortcut keys. To see what shortcut keys are available to all Office 97 applications, open the Character Map by pressing the Start button, then clicking Programs, then Accessories, then Character Map. Highlight a character to read see the shortcut or keystroke you must type to insert it. Windows NT users will find the characters with keystrokes by choosing Windows Characters in the Subset list; numeric values must be entered using the numeric keyboard to the right of your alphabetic keyboard.
    Q #8: The instructions for using the US-International keyboard tell me to use the right-side Alt key to type certain characters. What if my laptop doesn't have a right-side Alt key?
    A: When using keyboard-specific shortcuts, pressing the Control and left-side Alt keys simultaneously works the same as pressing the right-side Alt key.
    Q #9: I switched to a different keyboard layout, and now I get the wrong letters when I type. When I type a Q, for example, I get an A.
    A: Some European keyboards change the letters assigned to keys. For example, the English keys QWERTY become AZERTY with the French keyboard layout, QWERTZ with the Czech keyboard layout, and UGJRMV with the Latvian keyboard layout.
    It is best to use a different keyboard layout only if you already know how to touch-type in the language, and never have to look at the keys. See Question #7 above.
    If you are using a US keyboard and want to insert letters with accents for Western languages, switch to the US International keyboard.
    Q #10: Can I use Proofing Tools for Word for Windows 95 with Office 97?
    A: In many cases, yes. Check our Technical Support for Proofing Tools page for further information about your language.
