Are you certain you've actually INSTALLED the proofing tools?

Go through Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel and choose to change the
current Office 2003 installation. Insert the CD when prompted. Drill down
through the entries for shared Office tools and such, looking for the proofing
tools. Make sure these are set to "Run from my computer".
