Why does MS MUI not stay for languages other than English?

[ritter197]

I have the MS MUI (multi languages) installed.

Well, I know most of the time the correct words and spelling in German, BUT
the Umlaute I love to have corrected and that is why I have and use the MS
MUI.

Strangely, I installed it and it went (months ago) just normally, but when I
want to check, Go to Tools, then set Language to German, then back to Tools
to Check Spelling, in most cases the drop=-down window goes back to default
English or comes up that it cannot find the German dictionary.

After I say OK it the (many times, not always) goes and checks it in German.

It is MOST frustrating indeed.

I have also set under Settings, Control Panel the German and English
selected under Regional languages.

This is with Windows XP PRO and this MS MUI drives one crazy (plus out over
$100)

I cannot reproduce your problem (using Outlook 2003). But then I use it
slightly different. When editing a message, I
1) press F7
2) click Options
3) select the dictionary (e.g. German)
4) OK
5) Cancel
6) F7 again

The dictionary is still set to German.

Well, Pat I also use Office Outlook 2003.

When I try F7 it comes up that it cannot find the GERMAN (strange, is it not
that it says German) dictionary, but then does check a sample I wrote in
Outlook 2003 with 1 error on purpose.

But -does it make any sense that it comes up under F7 with German when it
cannot find it???

That is so frustrating to me.

I had a similar problem yesterday when I set it to French; said it
couldn't find it.

I went to Options -> Spelling to set it back to what it was before.
Can you set it permanently to German from there?

 

[ritter197]

WHERE do you mean in Options?

In WORD? Or where? I WORD I have it set under TOOLS, Options,Spelling and
Grammar to use "post reform rules German" at the very bottom.Left side.
Is that what you mean?

Sorry, I misunderstood - I don't use Word as email editor; I use the
Outlook editor. So the options I meant was in Outlook.
