Situation: We take local admin rights to pc away from users so they cannot make harmful changes to workstations. Problem: Once local admin rights to the pc are taken away Microsoft Word seems to take away the ability to spell check. Any ideas on how to fix, or is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Thanks for your help in advance, Eddie Martin
