Office 2008 for Mac & Proofing Tools SDK

[Kyrie1965]

Good day.

We want to develop Proofing Tools for Russian language (spelling,
thesaurus, hyphenation) for Microsoft Office 2008 (Mac OS X). We have
all necessary resources (we have released some Russian linguistic
software for Mac OS X). But I cann't find any useful information - API
or documentation, or samples for Proofing Tools 2008 (Mac OS X).

I had a talk with Microsoft office in Russia, but still waiting their
answer. I know that Microsoft is not interesting in Russian Mac market
(it is too small). But there is no way at all to sell Microsoft Office
for Mac without Proofing Tools for native language.

Where can I find information about API or documentation, or samples
for Proofing Tools 2008? May be someone have e-mail contact of Mac BU
(Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft)?

We just only need a little information (API, documentation or samples)
and no more.

Thank you very much!

Hi Yuri:

I have asked someone from the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit to contact
you off-list.

Cheers

I NEED POLISH LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR/SPELLING CHECK, AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION (ON BOX, IN WEB, ETC.) THIS LANGUAGE IS NOT SUPPORT. NO INFORMATION ABOUT ANY ALTERNATIVE OR FUTURE SOLUTION (EG HOW TO ADD DIFFERENT DICTIONARY THAN OFFERED IN BASIC PACKAGE).

Please do not attempt to hijack a thread by posting a different question.

"not attempt to hijack a thread by posting a different question"
 THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT LANGUAGE SUPPORTED BY MSO '08 ON THE BOX (OR IN APPLE WEB PAGE).
POLAND HAS 40 mln. CITIZENS, AND THE FACT IS: NO ONE CAN USE THIS PACKAGE....

 

[Daiya Mitchell]

I answered your question the first time you posted it. Posting the same
question, in three vaguely related threads, instead of posting a new
question, is just rude. Posting in all caps, which is equivalent to
YELLING, is even ruder, and it makes your question very hard to read.
Please stop.

FRANKLY - YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTION WAS - HOW TO INCORPORATE POLISH DICTIONARY INTO MSO '08 ?

Your question WAS answered. Stop yelling in upper case, or no one will
answer. There are no Polish proofing tools in Office 2008. Daiya told you
what languages are available. No one here knows when (or even if) Polish
proofing tools will ever be available.

oh, please please please make some Russian proofing tools. I'm studying Russian in college and would love to have proofing tools for my documents. Good luck!

Use Help>Send Feedback to make sure that Microsoft hears your request.

They are in discussion with a developer about producing these: if you add
your vote to the list, you are much more likely to get them.
