Error message: "Microsoft Word is not available" for spell checking Thread poster: Profdoc

Hello, I'm getting an error message saying that "Microsoft Word is not available" when I try to use spell checking. I do in fact have MS Word 365 installed and it was working with MemoQ's spell check yesterday. Any ideas why it has stopped working? I'm using MemoQ 9.8. | | | Daniel Frisano Italy Local time: 13:28 Member (2008) English to Italian + ...
Method 1: - In MS Word, go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Trusted Locations - Select "Add new location", then browse to C:\[Your user path]\AppData\Roaming - Add the memoQ folder as trusted location If that doesn't work, Method 2: - In memoQ (I use 9.12), go to Options > Spelling and Grammar - Select your language, then "hunspell" instead of "MS Word" in both buttons below Method 2 is less preferable...

You have to define your own exception dictionaries in memoQ, and that's where false positives are added during spell checking. Sure enough, when I open the translated document in Word, it has underlined as incorrect the same words for which I pressed the "Add" button a few minutes earlier in memoQ. | | | Profdoc Local time: 13:28 Swedish to English TOPIC STARTER Method 1 works, thanks! | Feb 22, 2023 |
Method 1 works, I would never have figured that out on my own. Thanks for the tip! | |

Right, I think it's only unidirectional, i.e., not a full reciprocal sync: - memoQ *does* recognize what you mark as acceptable in Word, - Word *does not* recognize what you mark as acceptable in memoQ. | | | Daniel Frisano Italy Local time: 13:28 Member (2008) English to Italian + ...

Hmmm, I was able to follow all the instructions, but it still tells me that Microsoft Word is not available. This is my first time using memoq on a new computer.
