Re: Word 2004 Grammar Preferences grayed out

The text is formatted as US English. I checked the Style for Normal in this
document and set the default to US English as well. Still, the Grammar
option is grayed out.

Now I don't know if this is relevant, but I was unable to use the installer
on the MS Office CD to install Office. For some reason, the installer gets
through the part of inputting the license key, starts the install, then
after a few moments of copying a few files, jumps to the "Finish". But
nothing was installed. We had to drag the MS Office folder from the CD to
the Applications folder to get it installed. Would that have some affect on
whether the proper files were put in place?

Since my last post I have uninstalled Office using the uninstaller, and
reinstalled again (having to drag the folder to install again).

We used this CD to install Office on our other 2 computers at home (it's a 3
license Education copy), and they work fine. One is running 10.2.8, the
other 10.4 like this one.
