Googleing helps...
You need to install the Proofing Tools from a previous version of Office.
You'll be cured if you follow these instructions:
1.. Run Setup from another Office installation disk.
2.. Select "Custom Install".
3.. You'll have to insert your Product Key.
4.. Turn Off ALL of the product installations. (Right-Click icon and
select "Not Available")
5.. Under "Office Shared Features", set "Proofing Tools" to "Run all from
My Computer" This should install the English, French, and Spanish
dictionaries. English alone would probably solve the problem, but what the
heck?
