Proofing and Editing Tools For Multilingual Document Creation
Office Language Packs support a wide range of document proofing tools, including Spelling and Grammar, Thesaurus, Translation Screen Tips, Word Count, Auto Correction, and Input Method Editor utilities for East Asian languages. The user interface and proofing language are independent of one another, so they can be customized independently.
Auto Correction uses language dictionaries to automatically detect and correct typographical errors, misspelled words, and incorrect capitalization. For enhanced spelling correction, Auto Correct can not only use words from Microsoft Office’s built‐in dictionaries, but also words you add yourself.
The Thesaurus provides alternative words in the selected language.
Translation Screen Tips provide quick translations or definitions when pausing the mouse cursor over a word.
Word Count is an essential utility when you have character or word count requirements when creating documents.
Language packs for East Asian languages include Input Method Editors (IMEs) that allow users to input complex characters and symbols, such as Chinese characters, using a standard keyboard. IMEs offer a variety of methods for selecting and inserting these characters, including phonetically, by character stroke count, or by drawing the character with a mouse or tablet PC stylus.
Each Language Pack contains its primary language for user interface and Help, as well as at least one additional language or language variation for proofing and editing tools. Since languages have their own unique characteristics, available proofing tools may differ, depending on the Language Pack you select.

Famous quotes containing the words editing, tools, document and/or creation:
“In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. Tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
