Office 2007 dictionaries

[Berky01]

I use Office 2007, mostly only Word, and I now have a need to spellcheck in Brazilian Portuguese. I'm perfectly willing to purchase the appropriate product but as MS don't support Office 2007 any longer I can't find it. I don't want to change to Office 2010 or above as I am perfectly happy with 2007. Can anybody help? Thank you

Apparently a common issue.

This shows you how to check to see if a) Office is already able to spell-check for that language, and b) if the language pack is already installed or not.

If Portuguese isn't already included in your install, then the only way you'll be able to install it is to upgrade to Office 2010, as the Office 2010 language packs don't work with Office 2007 & they don't sell the Office 2007 packs anymore.

I downloaded the following "officeproofingtools2007sp1-kb937156-fullfile-pt-br.exe" from the MS site but it doesn't load. It seems daft to go to the expense of changing from Office 2007 to Office 2010 just to check a few documents, when Office 2007 is perfectly good for everything else.
