Copy the following to Notepad, change the username to your Windows
UserName then save as proofing.reg. Merge the results to the registry - or
simply check whether these registry entries exist and are correct.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\Spelling\1033\Normal]
"Engine"="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF\MSSPELL3.DLL"
"Dictionary"="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\PROOF\MSSP3_EN.LEX"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Custom
Dictionaries]
"1"="C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof\custom.dic"
