On my Office 2007 Word program I don't have the spell checking for Portuguese(Portugal) and I would like to enable it.



It shows on my list of languages but it is not operative.

Is there a way to make it work?

If you have a language version of Office 2007 that includes Portuguese proofing tools, you should be able to enable those in Office Setup (start it from Control Panel | All Control Panel Items | Programs and Features).

If you do not have a language version of Office 2007 that includes Portuguese, what you need is a Portuguese language pack. Unfortunately, these are no longer sold by Microsoft, so you'll have to try getting it from third-party.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks fpr answering me.

Can you give me more specific instruccions on how to enable portuguese proofing tools on Office set up.
I am not sure if I have it, portuguese shows upon my list od languages but without the "abc" symbol for enabled spell check tool

I haven't used Word 2007 in years, so I was intentionally vague on the details. :-) However, read the instructions in this article: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ac...503.aspx?CTT=1 (Enable the use of other languages in your Office programs).
