"correct spelling as you type" box problem
Why is it necessary to check this box EVERY time I open MS Word 2007? Why
can't I check it once and have it remain checked for future sessions? Same thing happened in 2003 version. Thanks. Tom |

"correct spelling as you type" box problem
When settings don't take, it usually indicates registry corruption. I would
try the steps shown here to see if they help in getting settings to stay set, paying particular attention to deleting/renaming the Data key: http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "tkane06" wrote in message ...

Tom Thanks Herb, but "Word opens very slowly; or crashes (or gives an error message) as soon as it opens" is not the problem. I don't disagree it may be a registry problem, but I don't have a clue as to where to go to fix with RegEdit. Your link didn't give me a clue. Can you be more specific. |

"correct spelling as you type" box problem
Did you look for "Data key" in that article?
In any event, for Word 2007 (aka Word 12) you're looking for: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data Try renaming or deleting the Data key. Word will automatically rebuild it the next time Word is started. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "tkane06" wrote in message ...

"correct spelling as you type" box problem
THANKS A MILLION, Herb! It was the "Data Key" and now seems to work great.
"correct spelling as you type" box stays checked when I open Word each time now. I also shut down my PC where default printer is connected, and to which my laptop is connected Wi-Fi, and the box remains checked when I open Word.

"correct spelling as you type" box problem
I have deleted the data key and it did not fix the problem. Any other
suggestions? -- Thanks, Nathan "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Did you look for "Data key" in that article?
