"Check Spelling as you type" setting not remembered

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm running Word 2002 on a Win2000 machine and am having trouble with Word not retaining the "checkmark" next to the "Check spelling as you type" in the Spelling & Grammer tab under the "Tools/Options..." setting.

Once it is set, Word will remember it as long as the program stays open. However, when I exit and restart Word, it is unchecked again.

I figure it has something to do with the Normal.dot template but have not had much success so far changing it.

Hi Bridger;

I'm running Word 2002 on a Win2000 machine and am having trouble with Word

not retaining the "checkmark" next to the "Check spelling as you type" in
the Spelling & Grammer tab under the "Tools/Options..." setting.

Have you clicked on the "Default" button in the bottom left corner of that
dialog?

Once it is set, Word will remember it as long as the program stays open.

However, when I exit and restart Word, it is unchecked again.

I figure it has something to do with the Normal.dot template but have not

had much success so far changing it.

Cheers!
