Insertion Point misbehaves

Hot-bail-me out · Guest

I keep getting a message that I have never gotten before in both MS Word and
MS Excel for Mac. When I open up either program it gives me a message that
says that it cannot initialize the spell checker, and I get the message so
often that I cannot use either program. What it says exactly is:

"Word cannot start the spelling checker. The spelling checker files may be
missing. Make sure the spelling checker files are installed or use the
Microsoft Office Installer to install the Spell Checker."

Sounds straightforward enough, but how do I do this, and why the problem all
of a sudden when there was none before?

Thanks!

I also have the same problem and even took the system back to Windows XP
running Office 2007 and got the feature to work. However, I'd really like to
stay on Vista. Has anyone found a solution?

I am having a similar problem. After months of Word 2003 working fine on
Vista Ultimate, starting yesterday I cannot save any document. I can create
a new document, I can open an existing document but cannot save any of them
in any manner.

Sounds like you have installed something that has placed an incompatible
add-in into Word (or Office). Have you installed anything new lately such as
a scanner, OCR or Acrobat that would install macros in Word? What happens if
you start Word in Safe Mode? Does it let you open and save a document then?
From Start Run (Winkey+R) type in

winword /a

and press enter. Test opening and saving now.

I too am getting the following error:

"Log on failed: You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your Address
Book."

My HTML Editor is Notepad, and my Email and Newsgroups are both set to
GroupWise (v7. Going away next year).

I've looked into http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918792 , and the registry
settings are all ok. And, I am trying to send a '.docx' file.

Oddly, a handful of customers are able to send from within Word ok with the
same internet properties as above. Furthermore, they can send '.doc' files as
well. No one has Outlook 2007, but rather OE is installed with Outlook
disabled in Windows Components. This seems to flow against the grain of some
of the other threads. They get a popup prompting to 'Choose a Profile' upon
which they choose GroupWise, and their good to go.

We're using Dell GX740's with XPSP2. Not sure what else to try?

Thank you in advance for your time.

It could be you have an add-in attempting to run that uses VBA. If you don't
have VBA installed then that might explain the message you are encountering.
