MS Word: Check spelling as you type option doesn’t work

[hr]

While typing check spelling as you type doesn’t work.

If German is set (Tools -> language -> set language -> German) then typing mistakes are not highlighted. Within other languages like French and English it’s working fine.

I’m using German XP Home Edition with English version of Office Standard Edition 2003.

Any ideas?

I assume that German spell checker is not installed.
Select some text, go to tools-language, set "German (Germany)".
Then hit F7 for spell checker. Do you get a message, that German spell checker is not installed?
