Office 97-Spellchecker and Macro's

[Guest]

I have recently upgraded to XP and have set up Administrator and Limited
accounts. My problem is that when logged on as administrator I have spell
checker and macro facilities but they are not available when I log on as a
limited account holder. Can anyone please advise.

Hold shift while right clicking on the shortcut for Office. Click on RunAs
and enter your admin credentials (user name/password). Then try the macros
and spell checking.

Alternatively, install the program for your limited account using RunAs to
perform the install - or - by temporarily elevating the account to admin
status. After the install is complete and you have run Office at least
once, return the account to Limited status.

Try the folks in the "Office" group for a workaround. Windows XP is
doing what it is supposed to do.
