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 besetting sin of able men is impatience of contradiction and of criticism. Even those who do their best to resist the temptation, yield to it almost unconsciously and become the tools of toadies and flatterers. “Authorities,” “disciples,” and “schools” are the curse of science and do more to interfere with the work of the scientific spirit than all its enemies.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contempory who reads it, invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it!”
—Ellen Terry (1848–1928)
“We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable; that all men are created equal and independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
