Hi Jeffrey

This is an MS Windows program and therefore it will not run under MacOS which is a different operating system and different architecture. Depending on your Mac (intel based plus enough memory) you may be able to install a version of Windows on it. For more details refer to Apple’s help notes on this at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986

Once you have a running version of Windows you will be able to install the MSI. The important thing to realise is that you will either be running MacOS OR you will be running Windows.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [dm-l] Getting Latin Spell Check for Word 2011 ON A MAC

Dear Fellow Medievalist,

Can anyone help me get a Latin Spell Checker installed for Microsoft Word 2011 on a Mac.

I'm switching from a PC to a Mac. On my PC I had COL - Correcteur Orthographique de Latin installed and working fairly well

I've tried to recreate this on my Mac.

I've downloaded the newest release of COL - Correcteur Orthographique de Latin - Correttore Ortografico di Latino - Corrector Ortográfico de Latín from http://www.drouizig.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75%3Acol&catid=38%3Adifazier&Itemid=68&lang=en

However, the download is an .msi file, which is a windows file ext. So is it possible for me to get this working on mac? Has one else done this? Is there a better solution?

Thanks for your help.
