Microsoft Word Spell Check not working

Hello,

I'm a translator working with Trados Studio 2021 SR2 - 16.2.12.9338 and GS 2020 SR1 CU04.
At our place of work, we have Office 365. Everything is completely up to date.
A while ago, Microsoft Word Spell Check stopped working in Studio. Only for me - my colleagues with the exact same set-up, do not have this problem.

When I try to select Microsoft Word Spell Check instead of Hunspell, I get this error message:
"Unable to select spell checker extension.
Unable to locate if Microsoft Word is installed on this machine."

The spell check works just fine in Word!

Can you help me resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Emma

  • Here selecting all macros as allowed solved the issue. There was also an attempt to place the temp folder used by Trados as a trusted location to avoid having to accept all macros, but that failed due to a Word error message describing it as not an allowed trusted location. This seems to indicate that the correct solution would be for Trados to place any temporary files in needs to use the Word spell checker in a folder that can be added as a trusted location in the Trust Center.
