We have purchased and are beginning to use MS-Word for all our processing.
Rumors are starting to float in from other depatrments and from students
that the spell checker is buggy. One secretary here did loose an unsaved
doeument to it.
Has anybody else run across this? Can anybody give us the scoop?

I have heard that the problem comes about if a document is spell-checked and corrected in Word 4.0, and then later imported into 5.0. I don't think there are any problems with 5.0, which is probably what you have if you just bought it. If you have 4.0, you can upgrade, possible without charge. There is a work-around for the problem. I don't remember it right off hand.
