How do you switch Microsoft office word 2007 to german as the language?

Question

Hopefully i don't have to download it in german...

Answer 1

That depends. If you want to set German as the interface language, you will have to get a German version, but if you just want to have it produce German characters and spell check German, no. All you would have to do for the spell checking is buy the German language pack from Microsoft.



First, the steps to switch the spell checker.



1. The proofing tools for the appropriate language have to be installed.

2. Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.

3. Click the Review tab on the Ribbon.

4. In the Proofing section, click Set Language.

5. Select the language you want in the list box.

6. If you want to make this the default language for future documents, click the Default button.

7. Click Yes in the message box.

8. Click OK.



Now to get German characters:



1. Make sure your keyboard is in NumLock mode.

2. Hold down the ALT key and enter the number on the numeric keypad. (Note that many laptops have a blue FN key that changes a set of keys, also with blue numbers on them and usually in the 7-8-9-U-I-O area, into a numeric keypad.)
