I tried every "fix" that has been posted here and elsewhere and could solve the problem until I opened the document with German words in it. RE: Document using 2 languages causing problem
As I said, I have tried every suggestion I could find, but nothing works and am at my wits end. I will go back to Office 2004 if I have to, but I paid a lot of money for 2008 and would rather not "waste" it. This didn't matter in the "lower" version, so I just can't understand why it won't work now.Ĭan anyone help? If the advice is to reinstall 2008, just how do I do that? (That same question was asked earlier in this thread but never answered.) doc document that has German chosen as the language. If I delete the Custom Dictionary and make a new one, things are fine until I so much as open the. Word 2008 just can't seem to get along with this. With Word 2004, there was just 1 Custom Dictionary, and it worked fine with any document (even doing the above). (The Custom Dictionary has "none" chosen for a language, just as I did for Word 2004.) Every other document has English (US) as the language chosen. For that one document, the Language I have chose under Tools is German. Also, because none of the people I send it to have Office 2008, this document is saved as ".doc" as they cannot view files with the suffix of ".docx". I do not start over with a new document each week. Each week I just rename the same document with a different date for the next week, i.e. Here is the situation: I have one particular document that I write each week in German (and I must have the German spell checker). While I have a bit of an usual case, the problem did NOT occur with Word 2004. I have removed and made new Custom Dictionaries, stored them in a different place, etc., but the problem keeps coming back. I have tried every suggestion in this thread, as well as suggestions from a few other sites, and nothing is working. Can anyone think of anything else? I am at a loss. Do I have to manually uninstall the entire Office 2008 package, locating all preferences, plug-ins, etc.? And then I lose all my settings in all the Office 2008 apps? I would hope there is some other solution like a corrupted pref file somewhere.Īs far as I can tell, everything else in Office 2008 works correctly. I did that, and it overwrote the existing app, but it didn't have any effect on anything that I could tell.
#WORD FOR MAC 2008 INSTALL#
The install disk simply says to drag the app to the applications folder.
#WORD FOR MAC 2008 HOW TO#
Terryf suggested reinstalling, (and I had tried this, too) but I don't really know how to do this since there was no installation in the first place. Also, this did not solve the problems: ADD is still dimmed and the the custom dictionary pop-up menu is still empty.Īctually, I HAD tried this earlier as well. I then selected NEW and used the default name, but again there was no CONFIRM dialog. I entered REMOVE but there was no CONFIRM dialog.
