After installing office 2007 my spell checker quit working totally. After
googling I found one idea about the problem being in my profile. So I log in
as someone else on my machine and everything works fine. But logged in as me
it fails. Now I'm on a corporate network so I'm not sure if I can delete my
profile some way or what. Any ideas?

I had the same problem and solved it as follows:

Start Regedit and goto the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\1.0\Override\en-US

I had 2 entries (DLL and LEX) pointing to non-existing files.

Rename these to oldDLL and oldLEX.

After this change all Spell Checking worked normal again.

Hopes this helps you as well.

Thanks that did the trick. Microsoft needs to get that pushed out more in
MSDN

Unfortunately, a thorough search of the registry failed to uncover the key
you cited. Then again, I am using Windows Vista and perhaps the key you
refer to is for XP only?

May be I am missing something, but if you are on a corporate network,
how come you do not bring in first the IT guys? Seems to me, that would
be the safest way (for your work station and your position:-)) to solve
the problem. But my question does not diminish the interest of the
answer that has been provided.

Actually I am IT. I like using the news groups to keep from reinventing the
wheel.

Sorry, I was mislead by the "Now I'm on a corporate network". I did not
imagine you were "THE network" :-). I of course agree, the very purpose
of NG is to share knowledge.

Actually I am the IT person for our company and I'd like to know the solution
for this. I know of a couple of other companies where I have friends that
work in the IT departments there and are have seen the same issue. Thanks for
the profile tip, but short of blowing away and recreating the profile (that
is a pain) does anyone know what is causing this?
