Word 2000 can't find MSSPELL3 or MSSP232

[CMeIrish]

Word 2000 can't find MSSPELL3 or MSSP232. Both files in \Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof folder. How to make it work? Does
it need to be in a different directory or is there a path somewhere I can
change?

You might get this error message if your text is formatted as a
language for which you do not have proofing tools installed. Try
this: Open a document where this problem occurs, press Ctrl+A to
select all of the text, click on Tools | Language | Set Language
| <choose your language> | uncheck the "Detect language
automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes |
Default | OK. Then press F7 to rerun spelling and grammar
checks, and save the document.
