Outlook 2002/XP: where/how to configure dictionaries?

[Michael Moser]

In my (admittedly old but otherwise working fine) Outlook 2002 the list
of available spelling languages shows several versions of English (US,
UK, Canada, Australia) as well as two French and a Spanish dictionary.
What I would like to have is ONE English dictionary (US) and a German
dictionary. How/where do I configure this? Under Tools => Options... =>
Spelling tab one can only select languages but not add/remove any. And
under Customize... I see no hint of spelling or dictionary or anything
related.

And where would I find (or get from) the probably missing German
dictionary?

Did you click Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft Office
and click Change? Select the option to add or remove features, look for
"Office Shared Features" and "Proofing Tools" under that.
