Default spell check in word 97 not working

User has office 97. The spellcheck in word is not working. Spelling and
grammar are missing from the tools menu, when he clicks on the spellcheck
icon nothing happens, and the spelling and grammar tab is greyed out in
options. When I reinstalled office and was logged on as myself with
administrator rights the spellcheck works and I can see spelling and grammar
in the tools menu. When the user logs back on the problem is still there.
His version of office was installed from CD by a local engineer. I have to
reinstall it from the server where all our software is stored, so I can't
check which components need adding from the control panel as I get a message
to insert the office cd. Any ideas? Thanks!
