The ordinary proofing tools (the same type of spelling and grammar checkers
you had in previous versions) will work with less than 1 GB of memory.
"Contextual spelling" is something new in Word 2007.

The system requirements for the new MS Home & Student Suite states:
"Grammar and contextual spelling in Word is not turned on unless the
machine has 1 GB memory."
Has anyone using this software with less than 1 GB of memory found that
they can manually turn on
the spelling and grammar checks?
