Spell Check not working after upgrade to XP

[Al]

Last weekend I upgrade my computer for ME to XP. I just
realized that my email was not getting spell checked.
Looking further into the issue, I found that
Word was not showing spell check under the Tools tab.
After doing a clean install of XP, I loaded my Office 97
software. It appears right now that everything with
Office 97 (Word) is working properly. I can grammer
check documents, just can't spell check them. Any ideas?

Hi Al,

Common issue with Office 97. Workaround/fix:

Go to Start/Run/EXPAND X:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL (Where X is your
CD-Rom drive letter). And then copy it to: Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

Or download the file here: Replace the Csapi3t1.dll file

An error occurred while the spelling was being checked.

Kelly,

I finally got spell check working. I used the Tech-Pro
link you provided for more help. I finally fixed MS WORD
spell check problem when I followed bullet 2 in
the "further things to try" section of Tech-Pro's
article. (I installed Office 97 after upgrading to XP,
that's why your fixes didn't work). However, I had to go
to Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammer.... in MS WORD and
select the option to "check spelling as you type.
Selecting this option fixed the OE spell check problem.
Life is back to normal now. Well, my wife can't get
Yahoo games working since upgrading to XP. Need to get
that fixed now.

Thanks for pointing me in th direction of Tech-Pro.
