Office 2007

[GrimR]

I have one machine that whenever the user opens Outlook to reply to a email the spell checker would come on and I have to end task.

I uninstalled and reinstalled but this now seems to be happening in excel too. SP1 does not solve it either.

I thought it was the keyboard and replaced it, and still received the same problem.

The only thing I can think of is keyboard drivers, as it's wireless, although this is not an issue on the other 10 wireless keyboard users.

Any idea of what could be causing it

Have you tried this logging-in as another user or as admin?

Is the Office Language correctly set up?

Update: Didn't try the other user as yet.
Uninstalled reinstalled all keyboards.
Updated the fonts folder, from my machine, as I know this to be an issue with 2007.
Checked the language, removed one and left US English.
So far so good this morning, but they could change at any time.

Have new keyboard drivers on hand if this problem reappears, which will be the next plan of action.
After which I think format and reload is the next option as SP2 is not out, although it's a bit extreme for now.

Ive seen this on 2 machines, clearly related to Office 2k7, as will any google search.
Some of the answers Ive foudn dont work though.
Im of the opinion its an Office2k7 bug, someone would be hard-pressed if they say otherwise. The searches out clearly show it as such.
