Default £10 Paypal reward if you can fix this problem.
For my written assignments I rely heavily on spell checker to check my work in Microsoft Office Word XP. When I formatted recently the **** thing is not working properly and since my second year back at Uni starts next Tuesday I really need to get this fixed in a rush.

I've tried Google for the answers and I've searched the Question/Answer knowledge base on Microsoft's website and have tried all the suggestions, it's probably a simple solution but i can't seem to find it. My last resort is to pay Microsoft their online support which costs £50, so £10 seems fair.

The problem:

Microsoft word is picking up the spelling errors and correctly identifies them:



But for a split second after I select F7 or Spell Check, the blue highlight disappears and Spell checker will not let me select the correct spelling in the suggestion box:



Has anyone got the solution?

Right-- if you have the OfficeXP setup disc-- you should be able to run the setup-- and repair the damaged files-- it would be automatic.

Agreed. A repair/reinstall of Office is the first thing you should do.
Failing that, goto Windows Update and ensure that Windows and Office are both 100% up to date.

Also, please don't worry about the money We help for free...everyone gets the same treatment...money doesn't make us work harder or faster.

Phew! I found my thread again!

Guys thank you for the help, What I have tried so far is:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, no success.
I have uninstalled then used CCleaner and Registry Fix then reinstalled, no success.
I am upto date with updates, no success.
I have tried the OfficeXP setup disc and ran the setup to repair the damaged files, no success.



Please help!

It's really strange, like I said it works for a split second then its like a "Pop up blocker" preventing it from working and letting me choose the correct spelling in the suggestion box???
