- I am *very* happy with the German spelling checker + thesaurus that I got
- from Microsoft for WinWord 2. The "Format Language" menu item means that I
- can combine English and German in the same document and the appropriate
- proofing tools will be used, even within the same sentence. I'm
- considering getting the French one too, which comes with a grammar checker
- as well as spelling & thesaurus.
-
- The price was reasonable, I think. The products are marketed by Microsoft
- but were produced by a 3rd party.
