MS Word spelling checker is not working fine. This is a years old issue.

Hello.

MS Word spell checker is constantly unavailable and I need to connect and reconnect all the time. Very annoying and time consuming. This issue has been present for years. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hunspell is a very poor spell checker so I would like to be able to use MS Word spell checker.

If I try to activate MS Word, I get this error.

Trados Studio spell checker settings with an error message overlay stating 'Unable to select spell checker extension. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.'

If MS Word is active, I randomly (and frequently) get this error.

Error message popup in Trados Studio reading 'There was a problem performing the spell check. The error message received was: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Do you want to try the operation again?' with 'Si' and 'No' options.

    I installed Studio normally, not specially as Admin. Maybe I should run it as Admin. Office was installed first, and is updated regularly under an Office 365 license. All programs are completely updated. Spellchecking works perfectly fine in Word.

    The type of error sounds like some fail in loading the service provided by MS Office. I am not sure what kind of fail, but I fairly understand software issues.

    I hope the programmers look into this matter more closely. I have experienced it for years, using all the updated versions of both Office and Studio. And I believe other users are experiencing this same issue. I see comments in this community from time to time.
