Hi,

We use a terminal server with Server 2008 R2 X64. It currently has Office 2013 X64 installed as a terminal services application. The issue has been raised that spell checker doesn't start on Word and users have to manually change the setting. However when they exit and go back in, the settings is removed.

This is for every user who logs on. Is there a way to set this permanently for every user?

Hi,

How did the users use the terminal server? Log on directly ,remote desktop connection or the users connected the share folder terminal services?

Please check the spell checker settings when you open the Word:

If the settings need to check manually after Word started and removed after Word closed.  Please try to use the terminal server administer account to rename the Normal.dotm file to Normal.old and restart Word.

Hi George,

Yes they login remotely to this machine and use Word installed.

So are you saying, as an Admin, with no one else on the machine at the time. Set the settings manually then rename the normal.dotm to normal .old? Where is this file?

normal.dotm usually stores in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Which setting, specifically, isn't activated by default? For example, is "Check spelling as you type" not selected in File tab | Options | Proofing?
