In the famous words of Rosanne Roseannadanna... "Nevermind"

I ran the Office set up and selected change. Found that all of the shared
resources were selected as off. Selected them for on, and now spellchecker
works.

Hi Beth:
No override option on the regedit for shared programs in my situation.
Confirmed the language was set to US English. Selected a different primary
language, and still no spell checking.

By the way, I installed Office 2007 on my desktop and my traveling laptop as
allowed by the license agreement. No problems with spell checking on the
desktop, but the laptop has the problem. Both run XP. When I ran Office
diagnostics, the desktop show one more file set (20) being analyzed compared
to the laptop (19). I uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 on the laptop
as well, but no fix.

To verify your Language settings, if you go to Start/All Programs/Microsoft
Office/Microsoft Office Tools/Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings, is
English (US) enabled as your Primary Editing Language and is enabled?



If so, what happens if you exit all Microsoft applications, set another
language as the Primary Editing Language (such as an Arabic language), click
OK, then return to the Language Settings and set English (US) as the Primary
Editing Language?

Hello -

In my Registry there isn't a: Override - en-US.

Just: Microsoft, Shared Tools, Proofing Tools, 1.0

I've tried uninstalling re-installing. I have followed all other advice in
checking the language. The error I get is:

"Cannot find proofing tools for English (U.S.). If you have the proofing
tools, try installling or re-installing them. Contact your local reseller
to
obtain Office proofing tools. For more information, see the Microsoft
Office
Site."

And here I am.

After that above error if I push the issue with Word 2007 by hitting F7 or
clicking on spell check it will justtell me that "Spell Check is
Complete."
No red or green wavey underlines ever. The Thesaurus will not work either
however, it will act as though it will by bringing up the right side panel
with options.

I see I am not the only one that does not have the override-en-US in their
regedit and there have been no solutions posted for this matter. PLEASE
HELP,
thanks in advance!

Does spell check work at all? If you press F7 to start Spell check does
it
work? If so then is the Microsoft Office Button in the upper left corner
flashing orange? If so click the button and then click back in the
document.
There's a minor bug in the check spelling as you type feature, if you
don't
click the Microsoft Office Button it doesn't function. (If I hadn't had
the
opportunity to experience this for myself I wouldn't believe it. grin)

If spell check does not work at all, see if the following corrects the
issue:
- Exit all Office applicaitons
- Go to Start/Run
- Type: regedit and click OK
- In the Registry, click the plus (+) next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Click the plus (+) next to Software
- Do the same for the following, (click the + next to) Microsoft, Shared
Tools, Proofing Tools, 1.0, and Override
- Cliik en-US (to select the key)
- From the File menu, click Export. Provide any file name and location
for
the key to make a backup copy of it (You can skip this step if you want
since this key is self-repairing - a new one will be generated
automatically)
- From the Edit menu, click Delete
- Exit the Registry and see if your spell check works

My colleague has the same problem. The words don't show with a
squiggly
red
line that they are misspelled, though they clearly are. Language is
English.
We tried changing to French (where the squiggly lines do show up
because
the
words aren't in French) and then back to English. We force a respell
and
it
still doesn't catch them. The box to "Not check these words" is not
checked.

Any ideas?

Cindy,

Tried all your suggestions below before I actually read your last
post.
Langauge is English and bottom two check boxes are indeed cleared
(always
have been). This seems more insidious than just Word 2007 since I
can't
get
PowerPoint 2007 to spell check either. I think I may post on the
Office
discussion group as well. Is there a bug in your opinion?

Hi ?B?RGVl?=,

Well, I did find out the status bar (where and what it is), but
"Language" is
checked but no indication of what language is displayed.

Turn Language off and on, watching in the Status bar to see what
disappears/reappears. What do you see on that thing?

If you click it, the Set Language dialog box should appear. The
language of the
selected text should be highlighted. What is it?

Are either of the two checkboxes at the bottom activated? Which
one(s)?
