I wonder if anyone can help me. IÕm a real beginner and my iBook is driving me crazy! I have a French iBook Combo with 128 RAM and I have installed a French version of Microsoft Office 2001. I would ideally like to use Word for documents in French, Spanish and English with grammar/spell checks in each of these languages. I believe this is possible, but I donÕt know what it is I have to do to activate the necessary files. I have tried doing spell checks on documents after having selected a corresponding language from the Tools menu bar. However, each time I try to do a spell check in English or Spanish an annoying jumping Mac sign (with a Donald Duck beak and feet!) in Word Help comes up saying that Word cannot start the spelling checker. First it tells me in French that MS Grammar 2 is not a valid Grammar DLL (whatever that may mean!), then it goes on in English telling me to : * Make sure there is enough memory available * Make sure the correct spelling styles are installed * Make sure the Apple Text Encoding Converter and Text Encodings are of the same version When I try clicking on OK this sign doesnÕt disappear, and it is only through persistently clicking on OK and Command Q that I manage to quit Word and continue working (on a different software programme of course). Is this normal? If so how do I make sure that enough memory is available? What do I have to do to make sure the correct spelling styles are installed? And how do I make sure the Apple Text Encoding Converter and Text Encodings are of the same version? Could anyone help me please? Thank you in advance. Mark

I haven't ever seen a good way to make Word (or any M$ program, for that matter) handle multiple languages at once. Last time I used Word, you could only have one spelling dictionary selected at a time. Typical M$, really... p

Probably depends what version of Word you have, but in the "Format, Style, Modify, Format" menu you should see "Language", so you can set the language for a style. (I have 'Normal' set to 'English (United Kingdom)' and 'Code' set to 'English (United States)'.) I guess you change it at the document level by setting it for Normal.
