Cannot right click on misspelled word

[arjhutch]

I am unable to right click to allow cut, copy or paste on a highlighed
misspelled word. Is this a setting I can change? I've never had this
problem before.

I answered your previous post above. Please don't multi-post questions as it
results in duplicate efforts.

The options for Copy/Cut/Paste do not appear for a misspelt or bad grammar
words. Instead for these instances use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+X/Ctrl+V respectively.
Hope this helps

It depends on the version of Word you are using. Word 2002 - Word 2007 have
the Cut/Copy/Paste commands added by default but they aren't present on the
shorucut menu for spelling/grammar in previous versions.

Those commands are not present on that context menu in W2007. I am able to
be certain of this because I happen to have a fresh install (following a
disk crash), so other than run updates, I know that I haven't changed
anything yet.

They're present on my installation, Terry.

Are you sure you aren't using an old Normal template converted from a
previous version that customized the shortcut menus? If you've been using
the same Normal template for several versions that might explain why you
don't see them.

This was a spanking new HDD that I availed myself the opportunity to create
a clean install of Vista and Office 2007 (previously having 'upgraded' from
betas to RCs to full versions). But I have just checked again to make sure
that something else isn't giving false results and there they are at the
bottom of the context menu: cut/copy/paste! Unwanted but they are there.

Weird.

I am not sure if you were able to resolve this issue, but I have had the same problem. There is a few fixes to this, but the one that I had found to be the most helpful was at this site:

I hope this helps you out.
