Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
SUMMARY
Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition includes several foreign language
proofing tools that Office programs can use to proof documents in a
language other than English. To change the language Microsoft Excel
uses to check the spelling in your workbooks, you must
first install the Set Language add-in, which is available in the Value
Pack:Proofing Tools folder on the Office compact disc (CD).
This article explains how to change the language Excel uses to check the
spelling in your worksheets.
NOTE: Proofing tools other than dictionaries are available in the
Value Pack and can be used by the other Office programs. However, Microsoft
Excel can use only the foreign language dictionaries that are installed by
the Value Pack Installer program to check the spelling in worksheets.
