  Hello everyone,

  A user of ours on Campus is having a few problems with spell checking
a document under WINWORD. It seems that the checker will happily check
any words in the first half or so of the document, but will refuse to
check words in the second half.

  An example. Selecting a word that appears after the boundary of check/no-
checking then selecting Utilites->Spelling causes the word to become
unhilighted just before the spell check dialog appears. Selecting a word
that is before this mythical boundary and then selecting Utilities->Spelling
will leave the word hilighted, and it will appear in the spell check box.

  It seems to only be happening with this one document. Saving the document
in RTF format, then loading it back in again keeps the problem. To the best
of my knowledge, the text is not header/footer either. Saving the document
as text, then reloading it naturally fixes the problem, but the formatting
is munged in the process.

  Any ideas?

  cheers
