I have Word on a terminal server. After running an update sevice pack it
failed halfway through. Now as a result spell checker does not work. Having
uninstalled and reinstalled Word several times the spell checker still does
not work. It will crash word on a big document or simply tell you it's
failed if the document is small enough.

Is it possible to completly remove Word from a terminal server?

If so, how do I do this, is there a document that will tell me exactly how
to do this without messing up the registry?

Anyone have an clues as to why the spell check is failing? Is the dictionary
held in each of the users profiles or it is a global one that everyone uses?
Is it uninstalled when Word is uninstalled?

Any help on this matter would be greatly recieved...
 
Does this problem with the spell checked only happen for
normal, non-admin users?

Hi,

I have in fact manged to fix the problem:

I deleted/backed up all the files (*.lex) in 'programe files/common
files/microsoft shared/proof', well as many as it would allow. I then
uninstalled and reinstalled all proof checking in Office from add/remove
programes.

This was a guess, as yesterday i read about something not related to this
problem but related to something else in spell checker.
