I have an English version of Office 2007 running on Vista Ultimate. I often
write documents in Portuguese and need to Spell Check and Grammar Check these
documents whilst maintaining the Office interface in English. I would like to
know how/where I can purchase Proofing Tools for this language. (Note: this
is not a request for information on Language Packs)

Currently the only way to add Portuguese proofing tools to an English
language version of Office 2007 is to purchase and install the
Portuguese Single Language Pack for Office 2007.

Hi Ed,

In addition to what Garfield is saying, I'd like to add that the Office
Language Packs include both the proofing tools and the UI/Help, etc and, when
you install it, you can decide to only install the proofing tools if you want
to keep your English UI. I think that's exactly what you are looking for.

More info here:

I hope it helps,

Garfield, many thanks for your prompt reply. Thierry, you have allayed the
fear of me unavoidably having an alien UI - I will do as you suggest.

Regards, Ed

How do you install just the proofing tool?

As anyone using Portuguese proofing tools probably knows, significant
changes to the spelling of Portuguese came into effect at the end of
January of this year, reducing the differences between Brazilian and
continental Portuguese spelling to virtually none. Does anyone have any
idea when an update reflecting those changes will be forthcoming from MS
for the Office 2007 Portuguese Language Packs?

Obrigado,

Ralph

I have the Spanish Language Pack which as you probably know contains
Brazilian Portuguese Proofing Tools. The DLL file is labelled "Itautec
Revisor Gramatical Português-Brasil" and "Copyright (C) Itautec SA 1998-2006
All Ri..." It has File version 12.0.0.16 and Date modified 10/6/2006. The
company name is "Itautec SA". If you contact the supplier they may be able
to tell you about their plans to release a new version. It may already be
available directly from them.

I would expect some delay getting this through Microsoft because it would
have to be tested, paid for, licensed, etc. If you contact the supplied it
may be faster. If you have the continental Portuguese Proofing Tools you
might check the DLL for company information too. It's in
%programfiles%\common files\microsoft shared\proof. The Brazilian one is
named MSSP3PB.DLL for the grammar piece and MSHY3PB.DLL for the
hyphenization piece. Both pieces are labelled Itautec SA. I am thinking
that the continental file has PT in place of PB, but I am not sure.
