Does anyone know how or where to get a Spanish spellchecker for Word 2000? I am in need of writing documents in Spanish from time to time. I can speak it and write somewhat in Spanish, but I would like a way to double check it.

Thanks in advance.
 
There are dictionaries in Word for most languages. To use them, go to Tools>Spelling and Grammer>options button>Dictionaries button... from there select whatever language you want. The main complaint about these dictionaries is that there are so many regional differences in Spanish dialect.
 
Thanks HobbitK for the tip, but whenever I choose Spanish (Mexico), it doesn't recognize what I have written. You had mentioned the different Spanish dialects, and I noticed that there are 20 different countries of origin for Spanish (from Argentina Spanish to Venezuela Spanish).
I entered "change language" into the Word Help Wizard, and I believe I have to purchase and addin called "Microsoft Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack."
Thanks again.
