I am in posession of both the Dutch and English versions of Office 2007. As
I prefer an english working environment, I have
installed the english version. Though, living in the Dutch speaking part of
the world, I obviously write mostly Dutch.
Is it really necessary to purchase the proofing tools pack to "blend" the
Dutch proofing tools in my English version of office or do I have to install
both Office packs to be able to use the Dutch proofing tools?
Or has any of you whizzards, deviced another (simpler) way to do that?

Best regards,

Deadbrain George

What is this bizarre connection between Spain and Holland? (I
sort of know the history but it continues to surprise me.)

Nice of you not to post in Dutch like so many of your
compatriots like to do, even though you all speak perfect
English.

(on topic for a change)
Depending on whether you are in business or just a home user,
and just *how much* of Office you use (most people use like 3%
of it), you might want to consider OpenOffice or just some MUCH
simpler alternatives like floppyoffice.

There is a great spellchecker (it was written for 3.1 so it will
not run on anything above 98 - I still run 95B and 98SE and I am
NEVER downgrading to XP or Vista) that is free for home,
universal (almost all apps can use it) and has about 15 language
packs incl. Dutch.

If you are *stuck* with MS Office, you COULD try to contact MS
and ask them. But anything that has to do with MS WILL cost you
money. (Of course, there ARE warez newsgroups, largely filled
with posts from Holland

perfectly. There even are some having problems with the native language!
