Using Office 2003
proofing tools, with Word 2007 |
|
|
|
Office is supplied with a limited set of proofing tools,
the choice of which depends on the region where the product is sold.
Additional proofing languages must be bought separately. However
for those users who upgrade from Office 2003 and who had purchased the
Office 2003 proofing tools set, if you use the facility in the Office
2007 setup routine to upgrade Word 2003, then the additional Office
Proofing Tools will be retained and the proofing tools will work much as
they did before (albeit with a few anomalies listed later).
If you have uninstalled Office 2003, including its
proofing tools, it is possible to add them back after Office 2007 has
been installed.
To do this install Office from the Office 2003
installation disc and select a Custom Install |
|
Note: |
Clearly if you wanted to keep Office 2003
applications, such as Word 2003, alongside Office 2007 (see
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm ) then you should
not have uninstalled Office, but allowed the Office 2007 installation
routine to take account of your preference. |

|
|
Next,
install the Office 2003 proofing tools: |
|
|
|
|
Now remove
Office 2003 from the Windows Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs
applet. This will prevent Microsoft Updates from
updating the whole of Office. |
|
|
|
|
Open Word
2007 (or any other Office 2007 application). This will integrate the
Office 2003 proofing tools into the Office 2007 application. |
|
