I installed MS Office 97 Professional Edition on my PC
running XP. I have 5 users and the spelling & grammer
only works on the administration user. When I log onto
another user and select tools --> Options the Spelling
and Grammer tab is greyed out. The ABC Icon does nothing
on the standard toolbar... Any idea on how I can get
spell check to work with the other users??

Hi, Tim,

It's a problem with permissions in a registry key. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=257643 for the fix.

Oh, and if you don't want the spelling trolls to growl at you,
remember that there's no 'e' in 'grammar'. :-)

I'll be off then. No more posts from me.
