Re: Why doesn't 2003 version of Word recognize spellchecking from

Once again you seem to have replied to the wrong message. I assume you're
referring to the spelling.grammar newsgroup. I don't have the URL offhand
because I access these NGs via NNTP (using Outlook Express) rather than
through the Web portal you are using. You can do the same by clicking on
this URL: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar

Or you can continue to confuse yourself with the Web interface by going to
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar&cat=en_US_ddaf5bba-4045-4a50-9cfe-98b74744425b&lang=en&cr=US
