No spelling option in Word 97

I have Word 97 on 3 computers, two of them do not have a spell check option.
The spell check option in tools-options-spelling/grammer is dim. When i go
to start-run--"Regedt32.exe", and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\...Spelling
is not on them.

Does any one know what's up with this...Thanks

If you're running Word 97 on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, see:
