Re: Spelling check in Comment Text

Since we've eliminated the obvious, I suspect you're dealing with some kind of
damage to the document or to Word.

If this is happening only in the current document, try copying everything
*except* the final paragraph mark to a new blank document.

If it happens in any document you try, then follow the steps in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProblemsStartingWord.htm#Word_crashes_as_soon_as_it_opens_
Ignore the "crashes" part; the steps are useful for general troubleshooting.

No. The box "Do Not Check Spelling and Grammar" is UNCHECKED.

Hello! Freedman

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The spell check works in the main document (wavy red line), but not in the
Comment Text.

There is no protection or whatsoever applied in the doc. I use the NORMAL
template.

Dear Friends:

I am using WORDS2003.

Why is that I can't check my spelling in Comment Text? The spell check
button blurs out.

Any helps appreciate. Thanks.

Lee, I can't duplicate that behavior in my copy of Word 2003. If there is a
misspelled or unrecognized word in a comment text, it shows the wavy red
underline, right-clicking it may display suggested corrections, and both the
spell check button on the toolbar and the F7 shortcut work.

Maybe there is some other setting that's interfering. Is any kind of protection
applied to the document (forms, formatting, etc.)? Does the spell check work
everywhere else in the same document?
