Spell check while typing problem

I am using Word 2007. I have spell check while typing enabled. Therefore
when a word is misspelled it has a red line underneath it. I am supposed to
be able to right click on the word and see a list of suggested spellings.
However this feature works only intermittently. Many times when I right
click on the word it does not show a list of suggested spellings. Usually
if I right click a second time it does work. Is there any solution for this
hitch.

I've seen that same recalcitrance using different display drivers. Because
Word uses display drivers in a particular way, it can become confused
sometimes about exactly what's at the cursor when you right click. I haven't
seen the problem now since upgrading to my new computer (running Vista
Ultimate). When I did have the problem (Vista Ultimate on a 3 year old
computer), a work-around (for me, anyway) was to click on the word with the
left mouse button before trying to right-click.
