Thank, Tony. I'm not sure what's happening. If I spell check the same document on a different machine, there's no problem. Believe me when I say that I've checked every possible answer. I appreciate your time. There are two guaranteed rules of success: First, never tell everything you know.

Thanks, Randy. I found the set language on the tab when I pressed ALT+r+u. Word 2003 stopped spell checking so I installed 2007 on the machine. It doesn't spell check. Here are a couple of things I tried that didn't work: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005/en-us...

I can't spell check a document in Word 2007 (brand new installation). There is no SET LANGUAGE in the review ribbon. I've searched this on the 'net and it seems to be a common problem, but so far no one's had a good solution. Let me know if you need further info. Thank you for your time...

Thanks, Linney. None of this worked. From what I'm reading on various forums, this is a problem that Microsoft hasn't figured out how to solve yet. There are two guaranteed rules of success: First, never tell everything you know.

I've looked in several other forums and I'm beginning to think that there's no solution for this. On the start menu, I have Word 2007. It was keeping track of my recent items (i.e., when I clicked on the right side of the Word icon, recent items would come up). I started and completed several...

rjs, I appreciate your time and your answer. Thank you. There are two guaranteed rules of success: First, never tell everything you know.

I want to put the name of a business in an online ad. The name of the business is similar to A & B Widgets. The online ad won't show the ampersand by itself. I tried two of them. When I did that then && shows up in the ad. What do I have to do to get one ampersand to show up? I've probably not...

Mister HughesNet reset the router, everything is working fine, and the grandson will live to see tomorrow. There are two guaranteed rules of success: First, never tell everything you know.

Bottom line: The HughesNet local guy will change me back to a network with no password. Phil, you were very helpful and I appreciate the time you gave me. There are two guaranteed rules of success: First, never tell everything you know.

Thanks, Phil. Here's exactly what he did. He took the laptop from the box, fired it up and set up a network using the PIN from my router. At that point, the network that my phones were formerly on was invisible (or had disappeared) on my phones. Obviously, the network is somewhere in the...

I have HughesNet set up on two computers; my two iPhones also use HN when in range to access the Internet, etc. The phones were set to log onto HughesNet automatically. My grandson and his brand new laptop with Windows 7 came over today and created a network for himself on his laptop. That, of...

In Microsoft Word 2003, I'm using a standard novel format for manuscripts. At the end of a paragraph which is, for example, a change of scene, the characters ### are centered on a line by themselves. I then want to hit enter and go to the next paragraph of the new scene. The kicker is that...

Glen, I used this from Microsoft's KB: ... Method 4 The Windows Installer service may disabled on the machine. 1. Go to "Start" -> "Run" , type "services.msc" and press on "Enter" button. etc. ... I wish Microsoft's KB would give us the solutions starting with the easiest and least...

I am trying to install Avira Anti-Virus on my laptop and I get the error message: "Setup requires the windows installer service in order to perform installation." There is no other AV software on the machine. How do I cure this? If you need further info, please let me know. Thanks! There...
