Spell check checks only the language for which you have proofing tools
installed and only the text that is not marked to be skipped. Ctrl+A to
Select All, then go to Tools | Language | Set Language and make sure that
you have the correct language selected and that "Do not check spelling or
grammar" is not checked.
