Hi. Thanks in advance and I will try to get to the point without dragging on. My server build is ----Win2k3 x64 sp2 running Terminal services. Office 2000 + sp3 (Word, Excel and Access) installed via the recommended TS install method as in KB283675. Office aps work fine. Installing everything under TS install mode. Installed O2K proofing tools to obtain German spelling check (no errors on install reported) When Spell checking default installed languages spell check works fine every time. Issue is when spell checking in German the following message pops up every time. "word cannot open spelling file MSSP3GEp.LEX" Even under Domain Administrator logon I have checked C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof and can locate the following files. MSSP3GE.DLL, MSSP3GAE.LEX and MSSP3GEP.LEX I have spent hours going over every search I can think of to do with the issues but cannot get an exact match or find a resolution. I know Office 2000 is old but have inherated this setup and cannot upgrade at this stage. Has anyone ever seen this issue?

Hello, i suggest at least to use the following forum as this may belong to TS/RD: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverTS/threads Also i would check with the Office forums if it belongs to the proofing tools themself: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx As you realize this forum is not the best option for your question.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
