german language for office xp

[katreeen]

I have office xp and mostly use Word but I need to be able to spell check in german. I have all sorts of english and french dialects to choose from but the german is not enabled, where can i obtain this from (preferable for free)?

thank you

Unless you are in the US, you need to ask your MIcrosoft reseller (i.e. computer shop) to get them for you.
