This is an ACCESS newsgroup, not a WORD newsgroup.

I would guess you will need to update your copy of Office with that
German language. You should be able to do that from their web site. I am
not sure where however

Going to an Office newsgroup or maybe even a Word group might get you
more informed answers.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
