SYMPTOMS
Word hangs when you check spelling or use the thesaurus on a shared network installation.

CAUSE
The administrator changed the server path to the spelling and thesaurus files, and your Winword6.ini has not been updated.

RESOLUTION
Edit the Winword6.ini file to reflect the new location of the spelling and thesaurus files. In the Winword6.ini file, look for [Microsoft Word] section, and find the following lines:

  Spelling1033,0=C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSPEL2.DLL,C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS \PROOF\MSSP2_EN.LEX

Spelling2057,0=C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSSPEL2.DLL,C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS \PROOF\MSSP2_EN.LEX

Thesaurus1033,0=C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\MSTHES.DLL,C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS \PROOF\MSTH_AM.LEX Correct each of the path statements, ensuring that it points to the new server location.
