Lost Spell Checking in Word 97
I'm glad you got it sorted.
-- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Chaim Caron" wrote in message ... Hi Stefan, I found the problem. When installing, I must install: Office Tools | Spell Checker. Thanks for the help, Chaim "Chaim Caron" wrote in message ... Hi Stefan, Thanks for your message. I followed the instructions in the second doc (kb/257643) but got stuck at this instruction: 3.Select the first registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling because there is no key "Spelling" under "Proofing Tools". This seems to be an installation problem. Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall Word? I should add: this problem (losing the spell checker) started when I had to reinstall the OS after a virus attack. So this does sound like an install problem. When I installed Word, I did not install all the features. Perhaps a feature I did not install includes Spell Checker. Perhaps I should add all the features I did not install rather than uninstalling and reinstalling. Do you know which feature includes Spell Checker? I looked very carefully during the install process and did not see any explicit references to Spell Checker. Thanks very much, Chaim "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... First, take a look at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm. If this doesn't help, then see the following KB article: WD97: Spelling, Grammar Not Available in Word Running on Window 2000 or Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257643/en-us -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Chaim Caron" wrote in message ... My Spell Checker is gone from my Word 97 installation. When I go to Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar, all the spell checking options are disabled (greyed out). How can I turn spell checking back on? I have the CD, of course. Thanks! |
