Did you try what I suggested? That would re-install the proofing tools.

Hey Graham,

I got it to work in Word. I changed the language to English UK and my
spell check started working!!!

For some reason "English US" does not work properlly. Do you know
where I can re-install the English US dictoinary? Mine is obviously
corrupt.

What I did:

Double-click "English (U.S.)" in the bottom leftSelect "English
(U.K.)

Try re-running Office 2007 setup from Windows Control Panel add or
remove programs and from the Office Shared Features, disable the
proofing tools. Allow setup to complete, then run it again and
enable the proofing tools.

Still not working. I installed the two files that you noted (as they
were infact missing).

And I checked the settings too.

Try clicking on Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | check the
"Check spelling as you type" box | uncheck the "Hide spelling
errors in this document only" box | OK.

In some cases in an upgrade installation to Office 2007 from Office
2003, the English spellcheck files do not get installed. In
Windows XP, look in your "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof" folder to see whether the MSSP3EN.LEX and
MSSP3ENA.LEX files are present, and if not, add the English
proofing tools feature from your Office 2007 DVD.

My spell check will not detect miss-spelled words in Word 2007.
My computer DOES detect spelling errors when I am writing using
other parts of the office suite (such as Outlook), but it will
not work in word!! The even odder thing is, I don't get an
error, Word just doesn't red-underline misspelled words OR say
they are misspelled when I run spell check. On top of that,
Word DOES detect grammar errors...? Weird!

I have completely un-installed and then re-installed the all of
office but Word still refuses to spell check. (It is weird
though because even though I un-installed the whole office
suite, when I restarted my outlook, the settings were still
intact and my e-mails were still there. Even my password was
still there, settings were still there, calendar dates,
everything was still there....)

For word: Here are the options under the Office buttonword
options"proofing tab" and whether they are disabled or enabled:

Ignore words in UPPERCASE: Enabled
Ignore words that contain number: Enabled
Ignore Internet and file addresses: Enabled
Flag repeated words: enabled
enforce accented upper-case in french: disabled
suggest from main dictionary only: enabled

Custom dictionaries tab:
"CUSTOM.dic" :enabled
dictionary language: English U.S.


check spelling as you type: enabled
use contextual spelling: disabled
mark grammar errors as you type: enabled
check grammar w/ spelling: enabled
show readability statistics: enabled
writing style: Grammar and style

exceptions for "Document1":
hide spelling errors in this document only: disabled
hide grammar errors in this document only: disabled

What do I do? Is this a common error?
