Interesting Office 2K Dictionary problem.

[GTaudiophile]

I work for the German government and we get our OS (Win2K) and Office 2K software diretly from Germany. Both are in the German language.

Well, we are also in the process of replacing our computers. We have new DELL Dimension 3000 machines that come with the English version of WinXP PRO.

I have a machine running the English version of WinXP but also running the German version of Office 2K. I need that copy of Office to use both German and English dictionaries. (German is there by default.) Anyone know how I can extract the English dictionary/grammar files from the English version of Office 2K? Or is there any way I can buy a CD with ALL of the foreign language dictionaries for Office???

I think, unfortunately, you may have to get the so-called "international" version of Office 2k, which I believe retails for somewhat more than Office 2k does. But I have no clue for sure.

I think I need this...

Wonder how I can get it...

But I still wonder about extracting the files from an English version of Office 2K.

Seems like it is much easier to find Proofing Tools for Office XP and 2003 than for 2000.

I think I need to try Ebay.
