Microsoft Office Proofing Tools

Microsoft Office Proofing Tools is an add-in for Microsoft Office that implements a variety of Office specific functions for more than forty languages.
The package addresses users who are using an edition of Office that didn’t install the full set of proofing tools (that Office normally comes with) for their native language. If this surprises you, it’s time to learn that this is not uncommon behavior for Office.
However, if you’ve experienced this type of situation, all hope is not lost; simply deploy Microsoft Office Proofing Tools to turn Office into a full-featured editor for your language.
The composition of the package includes, aside from proofing tools (obviously), help and user assistance files, as well as localized interfaces.
Deploying it is nothing complicated, simply launch the installer, accept the terms of the license agreement and let the files be transferred onto your Office program.
It’s recommended that prior to installation, you close all Office related processes; if you didn’t, you must restart the program in order to apply the changes.
The targeted Office programs are Word, Excel, Outlook, OneNote and PowerPoint, so if you have a different Microsoft product, this package won’t be able to help you.
The proofing tools embedded inside it include a spelling checker, a grammar / style checker, the thesaurus, the hyphenator, the translation dictionary and Autocorrect lists.
However, not all of these are available for all languages, but only combinations of them, as revealed at this link. For instance, if your native language is German, you’ll be getting access to all of the features, but if you’re fluent in Urdu, you’ll be able to experiment only with the spelling checker.
All in all, it’s important to deploy this package if your Office installation is missing some of the components discussed above, but be sure to check what exactly is being offered for your language.
