looking for help

I have a 2003 Enterprise Server and installed office on it.

Normal Users did not have access to Spell Check, the Tab was grayed out in
Options.

Administrators had access to Spelling.

In order for normal users to have access to Spelling in Word, I had to make
them Power Users.

Why?

Surely there must be a less dangerous way to permit users to access
something like spelling than to make them Power Users.
 
This is NOT normal, as I've used 2000, XP & 2003 versions of MSOffice on Terminal Server as a normal user. You know that background spellcheck should be disabled on TS, right? Users should have to manually invoke spellcheck with F7 or the menu, as background spellcheck on TS can tax the CPU

What version of Office did you install, and how, i.e. Office 2000 requires the TERMSERV.MST from the resource kit and all versions require the server to be put in install mode before running the setup
