Word cannot find the spelling file msspell3.dll or mssp232.dll for .
My spell checker in MS Word 2000 or MS Word XP is not working with the following error:
Word cannot find the spelling file msspell3.dll or mssp232.dll for .
I have removed MS Office XP using the MS Office XP uninstall through Add/Remove, then checked the registry for MS Office entries as per the MS Knowldege base, then deleted the Microsoft Office folder and all subfolders.
Rebooted - then reinstalled MS Office XP. Same error.
I then again removed MS Office XP using the MS Office XP uninstall through Add/Remove, then checked the registry for MS Office entries as per the MS Knowldege base, then deleted the Microsoft Office folder and all subfolders.
Rebooted - this time I installed MS Office 2000. Same error.
Interesting thing is - the entire time, when doing a spell check through MS Outlook 2000 - it checks the spelling ok.
When doing a spell check in MS Word 2000 or MS Word XP the spell check randomly gives me:
Word cannot find the spelling file msspell3.dll or mssp232.dll for .
Or it tells me the spelling check is complete, even while misspelled words remain.
This had almost been a disaster for me due to the fact that I'm sending out resumes with cover letters.
My system is running XP Pro SP1

Well, looking back - i continued to have intermittant problems with the spell check in Word. I think I inherited a new laptop and gave up on the old one. So if anyone is still having problems after reading this posting - your not crazy.

I just ran into this problem on a specific document. I was less than eager to try the more drastic solutions mentioned and tripped across a very simple solution. Here's what I did:
Open the document
Select All
Select Tools --> Language --> Set Language
Highlight English (U.S.) (It was no longer highlighted)
Verify the two check boxes are unchecked
Hit OK
Worked for me. Good luck.

I also had the same problem on a computer running Word 2000. I was working on a document and the red lines that would come underneath a mis-spelled word would dissapear after saving the document a few times. I used the above process for language restting and the spell checking started to function correctly. Grammar worked the entire time, btw.
