Default Dictionrary working on Word 2003 documents not Office 2007 documen

I have one user that is able to do spell check on Office 2003 documents but
for some reason it doesn't work on Office 2007 documents. Has anyone run
into this before?

I deleted the Override key in the registry and rebooted the pc and that
didn't work. We'll try creating a custom dictionary.

We checked the Proofing Tools and the language is set to English. We created
a new custom.dic file and it seems to work now. Thanks.

Yes, I am having the same issue with Word 2007, it doesnot correct grammar
correctly and the punctuation is very poor. I am looking for an outside
program to assist and works inconjuction with Microsoft Word 2007. If you
know of any program please let me know.

No computer "grammar checker" can do even an adequate job, let alone a
perfect one.
