I have somewhat of a problem and I need help or an explanation. I'm running XP Pro SP2 (fully patched), Word 2002 SP3. Prior to a recent download and installation of the 'Word 2007 File Compatibility Pack', I was able to have IE7 & Word opened and do spelling checks within a Word document. Now, with both opened, I get error messages that certain .dlls (msspell3 or msspp232.dll) can not be found. If I close IE7, then I can spell check like before without errors. I know, a way to test if the 'Compatibility Pack' caused the problem is to un-install and test; but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this problem and is there a resolution, if any, to it. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.. -- Jim "What we know is minuscule to what we don't know..."
