I added Office97sr2 back to the new Dell with Xp and Office2003, installed to
a different directory.
Both product lines work but Spell check is grayed out and not an option in
Word97.
Although auto correct does function.
So what gives.????
Thanks

The problem is that Word 97 was never designed to work with specific user
profiles, nor with the non-admin types of profiles WinXP supports. You're not
logged in as an administrator, I take it? See
