Word97 - Tools|Options|Spelling & Grammar Tab Is Disabled

Word97. Why? Dunno...

With the Admin account, everything works fine.

With the other accounts (2, non-admin), the Spelling/Grammar doesn't work.

F7 does not open a Spelling dialog, I see no Spelling... in the Tools menu and under Tools|Options, the tab labeled "Spelling & Grammar" is disabled (I can not open the tab).

Any clues what's wrong and how to fix?

Thanks!

I take it this is running under W2K/XP? If so, this is because the security permissions are locked down which prevents word from using these features correctly.

It's been a long time since I fixed this :-)

Use the attached template with secedit:

%SystemRoot%\system32\secedit.exe /configure /db %SystemRoot%\security\database\office97.sdb /cfg off97.inf

Obviously I recommend that you read the template first before blindly applying it....

Cheers,

There is a GUI method (using MMC & then adding the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in) and then finding the inf and then... etc etc etc.

It's much easier just to run the command :-)

Cheers,

Mike
