I have Off 97 in English, and I would like to be able to use the french dictionary. I also have the Off97 french version, how do I install only the french dictionary from my french version, so that in my English Off97 and I can check either english or french spelling?

Office97 should be vwery similar, in that you can find somewhere on your start menu or through anoher way of reaching the Microsoft Office Tools group under Programs. In the Office Tools group, you should find "Microsoft Office Language Settings" If Not, Open up any Office program like Word or Excel, and Do a Help Search for "Microsoft Office Language Settings". You should be able to choose French from a long listing of language selections. If It does need that French CD, it will prompt for it, or most likely your English Office97 CD. Hope that you can find it and get it going. Good Luck!

O97 was not as language friendly as 2000 and 2002. You can purchase standalone spelling & grammar checkers for different
languages for Word at http://www.alki.com
You will have a great deal of trouble if you try to install the French and the English versions on the same machine.

Actually, I got both lanq's to work,I installed office english in one folder and the french one in another, and it works fine. yes I had to do a bit of tweaking to get them both to work, and re-do some shortcuts, and a few integrated function were in wrong lanq, but I re-installed over the english after the french again, voila, it works!!!!

Well, I installed 2 copies one in each lanq and it works just fine, even though I have to use the version with the lanq I need. So to answer 1) sorry but not even close!!!! I am still open to a better way to go, but I think this is my only solution!!!!
