Is it possible for Office 2007 to spell check against both an English and Spanish dictionary?

I live in Victoria, TX and write email and occasionally documents in both English and Spanish. When I try to send an email written in Spanish it flags almost every word as being misspelled. As my Spanish is somewhat weak it would be useful to have it spell check against an actual Spanish dictionary. If there is a way to do this I would certainly appreciate hearing it.





Note: I am not looking for Word/Outlook to translate for me. I will supply the words, I just want them spell checked.|||Try this:





First, the proofing tools for the appropriate language have to be installed, usually from the Office CD. The English version of Office also has the French and Spanish proofing tools. Others can be purchased separately.





1. Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.


2. Click the Review tab on the Ribbon.


3. In the Proofing section, click Set Language.


4. Select the language you want in the list box.


5. Click OK.





Any new text entered in the document will also be considered to be Spanish as well.





That should do it.
