word 97 problem under xp

[ifj. Dobos László [LaCy]]

Hi!

I installed the office 97 under my xp and
then i went --> word --> tools --> options,
but the spelling part was inactive, so i am
not able to use the spell-check [program].
I'm the administrator on this xp.

A good idea? please help!

Installation flaw. Simplest way probably is simply do a re-install.
Look carefully at the install options to ensure speling installing.
Spelling in 97 and XP should work fine.

Thanks for the supplemental information ... however:

1. the solution on this web page has to do with spelling problems with
Outlook Express ... I don't read that was the OP's probablem. I'm
resisting temptation to assume.

2. while I have no reason whatsoever to have any suspicion of the dll
file you suggest downloading, but how does one know that this is a valid
file and why should one just "download from the internet" a file like
this? Downloading from sources unknown to the downloader is normally
considered risky behaviour on the Internet and is a discouraged activity
(at least I discourage it). Getting this Microsoft-compiled DLL file
from a Microsoft web site would be acceptable, as is getting it from the
XP CD or c:\i386 folder (as your web site suggests)--the source being
known for all there of these files.

I'm just not sure I'm comfortable with this advice in an open forum like
this. Just my two bits, I guess.

Hi, Rob.

If an MS-MVP tells you it's OK, then you can bet it is.

I know I'm being pedantic here ... I like better this Microsoft site for
reference, but I note here that even they don't provide a file for download.

It's ok. Peace. But I just have to register my concern/observation that
people get pointed to "any old" web sites with no real authentication
to "download" something. Diametrically opposite prudent use of the the
internet in today's world.
