German proofing in English version of Outlook (Office) 2003

[timbeard99]

Hi,

I'm learning German and would like to be able to enable German e-mail
spell-check within Outlook so that I can write e-mails in German and
have them checked before sending. I write e-mails using Outlook,
rather than Word as I find it quicker and more convenient, so I can't
use Word's proofing tools.

By default, only French and Spanish are available as additional
languages within Outlook (though, strangely, there is an option for
German post-reform rules!)

Any idea what I need and how I set it up?

(Note, I have seen reverences to MUI, but this seems to be only
applicable to corporate roll-outs of Office, not single licences like
mine)

Vielen dank (many thanks)

Tim

English versions of Office 2003 include proofing tools for
English, French, and Spanish. You can add German proofing tools
by purchasing the Office 2003 Proofing Tools CD, and installing
the German proofing tools from the CD. See

for more information.
