Word – How to add a language dictionary to Word 2007

languagemicrosoft wordmicrosoft-officemicrosoft-word-2007spell-check

I am running a UK version of Word 2007 (from Office 2007 Ultimate) on Windows 7. I would like to proofread my document in Italian. To do this I click Review | Proofing | Set language and choose Italian (Italy) from the list which changes the document language. However, when I click on the Spelling & Grammar button, the only languages available to check the spelling are various localized versions of English, French, and Spanish (Italian is missing). How do I go about adding Italian to the list?

This post answers my question except for the Office 2007 is now out of date and the spellcheck dictionary I need is no longer being provided on Microsoft's site as a result of this.

Best Answer

Some links from the web say they are no longer available yet some will still connect, for office 2007 language packs you may have to, language service packs and translator packs for 2007, I just downloaded the Microsoft Translator Installer For Office2007 today 06/02/2019 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5780

also I just re-downloaded the office 2007 language pack sp 1 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14813

and looking for a valid link to sp2 and sp3 You may have to find the primary language pack for the language you wish to install from a third party vendor such as amazon.
