[AccessD] Access 2007 spell check

Thanks Susan. I had read your article when Googling the problem. For what
ever reason I can't get it to work any time, open form, saved form, new
form, what ever. Makes me real comfortable developing something in this mess
that is supposed to work on a clients machine.

I found a few refreces to tweaking some registry keys, but have not done
that yet.

It's not broke, but you can't always access it.
