Proofing errors runs all the time

Post by Jimbassett »

I have installation of Word 2007 Pro with all SP on it. Whenever a Word document is open including a new blank one the Error proofing comes on and keeps running (the animated icon appeasr in the lower left corner of the Word window. I have not been able to find on the web any mentioned of anyone else seeing this and wonder if anyone here has and knows how to fix? I also don't see an option for having proofing come on when opening a document

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

I don't have an answer offhand, but I'll look into it.
Best wishes,
Hans

I have been looking into it but can't find anything. I may open a MSDN case

I can't find anything either.

Have you tried to repair your Office 2007 installation?
If you have any add-ins, have you tried disabling them?
Best wishes,
Hans

Is it possible that you have something in the header or footer that is being checked?
Can you turn off the automatic proofing and then run a manual proofing without error?
