Microsoft Office 2007

• 1). Verify whether the document is on topic by translating it with a website such as babelfish translator, Google Translator or Worldlingo (see "Resources"). Paste the text into the appropriate box and choose Spanish to English translation and click "Translate" or any similar command. Online translation websites are not fully accurate, so it is almost impossible to verify each sentence. However, you can get a general idea of what the topic is about, especially if you don't speak Spanish.
  
  
• 2). Open Microsoft Word. Click on the Microsoft icon in Word 2007. Select "Open" and locate the Spanish document you want to review. Click "Open" to finish opening the document.
  
  
• 3). Click the "Review" tab on the top toolbar. Select the "Set Language" icon located in the first list of options. Mouse over each icon to find the icon specified. Scroll down to find "Spanish" and click "OK."
  
  
• 4). Install the Spanish proofing tools if you cannot change the language option. Go to "Start" and "Control Panel." Select "Add or Remove Programs" and click "Change" next to the Microsoft Office program. Select "Add or Remove Features" from the options available. Open "Proofing Tools" and click the arrow next to Spanish. Select "Run on My Computer" and finish by clicking "Update." If prompted, insert your Microsoft Office CD to finish updating the language options.
  
  
• 5). Click the "Spelling & Grammar" option. Verify that the "Dictionary Language" is now set to Spanish and run your spell check. Make the recommended changes. Reset the "Set Language" to Spanish if the spell check suddenly reverts back to English. Continue with the Spell Check until the document is reviewed completely.
  
  
• 6). Click on the "Set Language" icon again and reset the language to English for future normal use.
