Last year when CU3 was released I posted a quick article on how to get spell check to work with Lync 2013 and Office 2010/2007 installed on the computer. Since than, got a lot of great feedback and I wanted to pass along this find. Credit goes completely to a reader (Brendan the true Captain Jack) for finding yet another way to get this to work.
If you are installing the Lync 2013 client via the “stand-alone package” and not using the full Office Pro Plus installer there are some options you want to be careful not to disable. Below is a screenshot of the Microsoft Office Customization Tool which can be used to created your MSP for the Lync 2013 Stand-Alone installer – you will see Proofing Tools as an option.
| Within the MSP, you have the ability to customize and include the Office Shared Features | Proofing Tools directly within the installer. If you are working on your Lync client deployment for the first time, you should make sure to include these features. |
What if I have Lync already installed without them?
You have two options:
-
Go to Programs and Features and select Lync 2013 and choose “Change” and select Add or Remove Features and add it back in.
-
Command line version.
- Close the Lync Client
- Open up the command prompt
- Run this
- msiexec.exe /I{90150000-012C-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /QB+ ADDSOURCE=ProofingParent
- And than this
- msiexec.exe /I{90150000-001F-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} /QB+ ADDLOCAL=ALL
- Launch Lync and you should be good to go
For French language you have msiexec.exe /I{90150000-001F-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE} /QB+ ADDLOCAL=ALL and Spanish is msiexec.exe /I{90150000-001F-0C0A -0000-0000000FF1CE} /QB+ ADDLOCAL=ALL
Enjoy and happy spell checking!
