Word 2000 and 2003
Very strange - a document from my laptop or desktop PC red underlines
misspelled words but my wife's PC does not.
All three computers have Options/Spelling & Grammar tab shows that Check
spelling as you type is still ticked and the CUSTOM.DIC is selected.
Take a Word doc from the PC where spelling DOES NOT work and put it on
one where spelling DOES work and it DOES NOT for that document!

It seems that the facility for seeing misspelled words and for right
clicking on a misspelled word to choose the correction, is imbedded in
the document itself.
So, is it something to do with the Normal template which produces the
document on each computer?
(I find it hit and miss whether or not I can find where the Normal
template is spirited away by Microsoft - as a second problem, please tell
me how to find it in any PC, wherever someone might have put it)
Thank you
