Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGF2ZQ==?=,

I want to completelt remove the Spell check from Word in version 2002/XP. Not
simply remove the option, I want to remove it entirely... how do I do this?? I
tried uninstalling the proofing tools, but it just keeps re-installing itself...?

Since spell-check is a shared feature with other Office applications it probably
won't be something you can simply remove. Try uninstalling Office, entirely. The
locate the PROOF folder and make sure everything is removed.

Then do a custom install Office again, and make sure the proofing tools aren't
selected.

But you do have to realize that there won't be any spell check in Excel, Outlook,
Access, Powerpoint...
