What Now
Dell Vostro 1000 w/ Synaptics touchpad
XP SP2 Home
Word 2000
Everything was working fine on this computer until today. Out of the
blue when I went to spell check a Word doc, the speller stopped on a
misspelled word for just a split second, then it would turn from red
to black and only the Undo Edit, Change, and Change All buttons are
clickable, but not the Ignore or Ignore ALL buttons, which are greyed
out. I also cannot click on any of the suggested spellings to actually
FIX the spelling error.
In looking at the ms word group for spelling and grammar (which is
basically dead in terms of getting an answer in a timely fashion), I
saw that someone suggested the problem could be an overly sensitive
touchpad. I de-sensitized the pad and rebooted. It made no difference.
I then downloaded and installed the latest touchpad drivers from Dell
-- it also made no differece.
Again, I've been using Word on this computer for 8 months or so with
no problem. I have no idea why this came up suddenly.
Anyone?
