> Hi,

> Recently one of the professors returned from Germany with

> 
> We installed it on a laptop running Windows XP Pro using
> MS Word 2007.   When using this spell checker we noticed
> less than precise detection of  errors. 
> 
> Has anyone had this experience?  Can anyone recommend
> freeware for spell  checking in German.
