Hi Group, I installed office 97 on my daughter's computer. She finished a school paper and I asked her if she used the spell check to check over and fix any typos and grammer errors. She said it wasn't working and sure enough it isn't. It's actually greyed out. I tried clicking on the assistant to get help. I didn't get the box that you type in to ask a question. Basically what I'm asking is if word is corrupt, do I need to uninstall and do another installation or can this problem be easily corrected? TIA, P. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
