Can you expand on what you mean? Do you mean a dictionary for another
language?

All non-English languages of Word do come with the English proofing tools. So
you need to go through the Control Panel/Add programs and choose to "Change" the
current installation of Office. You'll need the original CD.

Drill down through the application offerings, under the general Office
categories (such as Office tools) to find the proofing tools. Make sure the
proofing tools for English are selected. When you OK, setup should install them.

Then, in order to use English spell check, you have to select the text in the
Word document and format it with English, using Tools/Lanuage/Set language.
