Spelling Shortcut Menu Does Not Pop Up with Right Mouse Click

 Last reviewed: February 6, 1998
Article ID: Q133872
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

The spell checking shortcut menu does not appear when you use the right mouse button to click the paragraph mark, manual line break, or any punctuation mark following a misspelled word. Instead, the editing shortcut menu appears.

CAUSE

Neither a paragraph mark, a manual line break character, nor any punctuation mark following a misspelled word is considered to be part of the word. However, spaces to the right of a word are considered to be part of that word.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows 95 version 7.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

With the right mouse button, click the misspelled word itself instead of the paragraph mark, manual line break, or punctuation mark following that word.
