Hi all,
I have been working on a job with TagEditor for the last couple of days. As always, no probs. however, now, all the sudden, when closing every segment I get this message: "Could not locate the Microsoft Word spelling components for the current target language. Please ensure that your Microsoft Word dictionaries are installed and tested".

Does anybody know what might have happened and how could it resolved? If I open Word, the spellchecker works perfectly well. So I do... See more
Hi all,
I have been working on a job with TagEditor for the last couple of days. As always, no probs. however, now, all the sudden, when closing every segment I get this message: "Could not locate the Microsoft Word spelling components for the current target language. Please ensure that your Microsoft Word dictionaries are installed and tested".

Does anybody know what might have happened and how could it resolved? If I open Word, the spellchecker works perfectly well. So I do not know why now, all the sudden, TagEditor has decided that it cannot locate it.

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot.

close and try again Oct 17, 2006

Hello,

Check wether MS Word is running typing ctl+alt+del and look for it in the processes. End the process and close Tageditor. After that, open tageditor again and check if the problem persists.

Best,

Natalia

When Tageditor starts, it starts a hidden instance of Word in the background Oct 17, 2006

Now, when Tageditor is open and you then open a Word file and manually close Word afterwards, the connection between Tageditor and Word is broken. This is one scenario, how this happens.
Another one is, when Tageditor hangs and is closed. The Word instance it started is however not closed at the same time. So when you now start Tageditor again it cannot open a next Word instance, as already one is running. But it also cannot connect to the running instance of Word, so the error you describ... See more

So when you now start Tageditor again it cannot open a next Word instance, as already one is running. But it also cannot connect to the running instance of Word, so the error you described appears.
Another possiblilty is a Word instance in the backgruond, left there by Word crash.

Just follow the procedure described by Natalia any time you have trouble with the spellchecker and everything should be OK.
