= WD2002: German Spelling Checker Incorrectly Flags Compound Adjectives =

SYMPTOMS
The German spelling checker may incorrectly flag compound adjectives of the form noun + past participle (for example, &quot;zielgerichtet&quot;, &quot;projektbezogen&quot;) as misspelled. Either no correction is offered, or the same word in capitalized form is suggested as a correction.

The problem does not occur when you use the old spelling rules. The problem occurs only with the post-reform spelling rules. The spelling reform affected the spelling of such phrases and specifies that certain expressions now have to be written as two words.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Office XP product name Public Update that contains this hotfix.
