XP vs. Word97 Spell Checker...

[Arc]

In Word97 only my admin (Guest-1) profile can access the Spell Checker & Grammar. The other profiles don't allow the function and the tab is "greyed-out".

One MS site, said to alter the registry to allow the others the priviledge. I followed the instructions (they weren't for XP), but there has been no change.

Help!

Change to...

Office 2000 or XP. Win XP doesn't support Office 97.

 

[Arc]

No, I'm only using Word97 from the Office97 suite. Is there any work-arounds? That is the only problem that I have encountered.

 

[Lethal_T]

What...

OS?

You may not be able to install Office 97 on Xp but you can install the individual items: Word, Exell ... work fine.

Sorry. I'm using XP.

That is the site which closely matches my problem in NT.

I am confused. If Office 97 wont install with Windows XP Pro why has it installed siccessfully for me? It works fine with only one small problem. When I scroll a table sometimes the new screen is broken up a little.
