Office 97 spell check installation problem

[John Smith]

Installed Office 97 Pro on Win2000 while logged in as Administrator. Spell
checker was selected to be installed.

After installation, the spell checker worked fine.

However, another user account on the machine does not have access to the
spell checker even though that account can use Word fine otherwise.

Any hints?

TIA

Answer appears to be that users under Win 2000 need to be in the 'Power
Users' group in order to see the Tools -> Spelling and Grammer option.

Once I changed the user account from the normal 'User' category in the
Control Panel to the 'Power Users' all appeared to work correctly.

Does anyone know now to get the Office 97 spell check to
work on Windows XP systems that log into a 2000 domain?
We don't want to give users (students & teachers) admin
rights to be able to run spell check.

Thanks
