spell checker and OE6

[Ida]

I just switched to OE6 and no spell checker.
In my Office97 Word, tools,spelling & grammar...the grammer works
and is checked, but the spelling options are all gray. Is there a setting
somewhere that I need to find and enable it so the spell checker in OE6
works? I have already posted to them all they can do now is refer me to you.
I am using Windows XP SP3...thanks

I now reinstalled Office97 and in word,tools,spelling & grammar
is there and I checked all the options I want. The icon is active
in OE6 but now I get the error message. "an error occured while
the spelling was being checked" what am I missing?

I just reinstalled Word and under Tools, now the spelling & grammar are
both available. I made the selections under spelling and tried some words
in Word and the spell checker finds them. But in OE6 the icon is highlighted
but I get the erroe message "an error occured while the spelling was bein
checked"...now what.thanks
