Environment

Novell GroupWise 7
Novell GroupWise 7 Windows Client
Shipping code or SP1

Situation

Every word is marked as misspelled in the subject or message body
Every word underlined in red when composing new message

Resolution

This is caused by a problem in the Windows registry. To correct this do the following:

  1. Copy WT61US.UWL (or whatever reflects your language) from the install source to c:\
  2. Run regedit
  3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\User Word List\6.1\US\US Word List 0
    1. Usually you will see: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
  4. Set the following 2 keys:
    1. Enabled REG_BINARY 01 00 00 00 (binary value)
    2. Name REG_SZ c:\\WT61US.UWL (string value)
  5. Restart the client
This should not be a problem after SP2 as the word list gets installed under c:\Documents and Settings
