Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

am using a mac with an english version of office 08 because that is my primary language. however, when i check a french document, the check starts all right but after a while it tells me 'unexpected error in grammar checker. word cannot complete the grammar check'. i keep getting that error until i restart word, then it starts again but blocks again at the same point of the french document, anyone has a clue how to fix, please pretty please...

this has happened with many documents, regardless of formatting, even after i restart, and even after i reinstalled office 08.

You haven't said whether you have installed all the updates.  If you
haven't, do that first.  This was a bug that was fixed in an update.

Everyone: We need to understand that "re-installing" Mac Office has no
effect (it does nothing) unless you run Remove Office first.

That's because problems with office are not caused by damage to the Office
program files, they're caused by wrong information in the settings files
(the .plist files) which are not part of "Office".  The settings files are
files that notionally you (the user) create.

They do not exist on the CD.  Settings files are generated when each of the
Office Applications first runs.

Unless you run the Remove Office application, they remain on the disk, they
are not overwritten, and they continue to contain the bad values that are
causing the problems.

Cheers
