WIndows XP and Office 97 Spell Checker

[Guest]

I have a new computer using windows XP. I have two teenagers in the house
using the computer so I set up User Accounts under Windows XP. My account is
Administrative while the kids have Limited Access. With the Limited Access
User Account, the Office 97 spell checker is not available. However, when I
switch their Account type to Administrative, the spell checker is available.
Can you help with this?... Is there a setting I need to adjust... ? Please
e-mail any suggestions to (e-mail address removed)
Thank You, ~John

I did find similar problem using the Novell Groupwise's Email Spell Checker.

I had to make some registry changes, for Novell Groupwise I made following
registry changes HKEY_Current_User\software\Novell\Spell Checker\6.1

there may been similar registry option for HKEY_CURRENT
_USER\Software\Novell\User Word List\6.1\US\User Word List 0
Enabled (binary value of 01 00 00 00)
Name (String value of C:\WINNT\WT61US.UWL) ( Novell File )
(Another customer needed to point the Name Value string to the directory
where the NT Roaming Profiles existed. In his case G:\WINNT\WT61US.UWL)

Hope this helps.
