MSWord 97 on W2K Pro

I have a few W2K Pro boxes with Office 97.
When I login on any of these machines as regular user (on the local machine or NT4.0 domain), I’m unable to use spelling & grammar option in MSWord(it is gray out). If I log on as power user or admin I have this option enabled.
I need to have this option enable for my regular users without giving them super user privileges.
Note: These machines are part of a NT4.0 Domain.

Thanks, in advance
