This article was previously published under Q133872



SYMPTOMS
The spell checking shortcut menu does not appear when you use the right mouse button to click the paragraph mark, manual line break, or any punctuation mark following a misspelled word. Instead, the editing shortcut menu appears.



CAUSE
Neither a paragraph mark, a manual line break character, nor any punctuation mark following a misspelled word is considered to be part of the word. However, spaces to the right of a word are considered to be part of that word.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows 95 version 7.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



WORKAROUND
With the right mouse button, click the misspelled word itself instead of the paragraph mark, manual line break, or punctuation mark following that word.
