Do you install Office (or Word) logged in as the individual with Admin rights and then take them away? If so, maybe you want to install the programs as an Admin and then have the user log on as a normal user and see if that makes a difference. It could be that having those rights and then taking them away is the problem. Are you on a Windows Domain or a Workgroup situation?

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
