I use Word 2000 and it is fine for my needs. I am doing something right now
in Italian and it would be helpful to have Italian spell check or an Italian
dictionary.

I looked on the Microsoft page and could not find Italian for Word 2000. I
saw something that can be downloaded to fix Italian in the proof feature but
I am not sure if I can add that to my Word and if I can how I go about doing
that.

Any ideas on how to add Italian to Word 2000 either via Microsoft or a
third-party add on program?

Thanks

There was a Microsoft product, Microsoft Office 2000 Italian Proofing
Tools, that was sold separately. Like Office 2000 itself, this has
been discontinued for a number of years; Google couldn't find anywhere
online that still sells it.

If you do find a copy for sale somewhere, there's a update for it at

These are the files you will need:
msth3it.dll
msth32.dll
msgr2it.dll
msgrit32.dll
mssp3it.dll
mssp232.dll

This is the path where they will have to be located on your machine:
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof\

Happy hunting.

(Google is your friend.)

If I can not find the proofing tool the only option is to upgrade?

Does the Home and Office Version of Word 2007 include the Italian
dictionary/spell-check or is that another item that I have to purchase?
