Hi Paul,
Word will enable the grammar checker automatically if your computer has
sufficient available memory. The method of grammar checking that is enabled
when you set up and first start Word depends on the amount of available
memory on your computer.
Manually Check Grammar (8 MB or More) and Automatically Check Grammar (12
MB or More)
To run the grammar checker when you click Spelling And Grammar on the Tools
menu, your computer must have more than 8 megabytes (MB) physical RAM. If
you have less than 8 MB, the grammar checker is turned off by default when
you first start Word.
The temporary work around found here may help you, Microsoft KB article
