This article was previously published under Q177577



SYMPTOMS
Many options are unavailable (dimmed) if a menu is opened while the Spelling And Grammar dialog box is active.

This behavior is different from Word 97 for Windows.



RESOLUTION
Click the mouse while the insertion point is inside the open document (this places the insertion point in the document and makes it active). The focus is transferred from the dialog to the document, and access is gained to the commands that are normally available on the menus.

NOTE: To reactivate the Grammar And Spelling dialog after clicking in the document, click the Resume button in the dialog.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Additional query words: OFF98
