Thank you for the suggestion, Beth. I was able to run the repair option and
received the acknowledgment that Word 2007 had been reconfigured. However,
the problem still persists. I simply cannot successfully run spell check in
Word 2007 inspittteee of the mannny spellling errrors I put in my documents.
Nothing gets underlined and the spell checker completes without identifying
any errors. I am baffled as to what to do.

While in Add/Remove Programs and Office 2007 setup, did you try using the
Repair option? If not, try repairing your Office installation and see if
that resolves the issue.

I did as you suggested. It completed its work and made one correction, but
it wasn't the correction that would fix this problem. I even double
checked
the language setting (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft
Office
Tools, Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings) and verified that it was
set
to English(US). I even rebooted. Did not work. Any other suggestions.
(again, I appreciate your ideas).

Correct, it doesn't catch any of the errors, and there are many and
obvious.
I also tried it on Excel 2007 and the same story there. I thought
about
reloading everything, but am worried that may mess up my Microsoft
licenses
and registration. Any other ideas?

If you run spell check manually from the Review tab, it doesn't catch
any errors either?

Yes, it does have the ABC checkmark icon just to the left of
English (US) on
the same line. It is the first selection. Still doesn't work.
Still
baffled....

Does it show any icon left of English (US) when you go into
Review tab,
Set Language? The icon should be a checkmark with ABC written
over it.

The office button is not blinking.
The status bar does not mention English (US) or any other
language. Nothing
happens when I move the cursor over any word.
On the "Review" tab, I looked at "Set Language." It is set to
"English
(United States)"
I am baffled.

As language it correctly says English (US) in the status bar?
Even when
you move the cursor on a misspelled word?

I appreciate your help, Patrick. I purchased what I
believe to be the
English Language version. I walked in to CompUSA in Austin
and picked it off
the shelf. The package says, "Microsoft home and Student
2007." Any other
suggestions?

What language version of Office did you buy?

I don't have a spelling tab, but a "proofing" tab.
When I click that and
view the spelling options, under the Word option, the
first four blocks are
checked. I clicked OK. I then typed a document with
errors. Nothing was
underlined, and when I checked spelling, it indicated
there were no errors
inspite of the mannnny that I put in the document. My
default language is set
to English.

Click the Office button, then Word Options and check
the spelling tab.
Everything look fine there? If it does, try it again.

I cannot get spell check to work in Word 2007
(using Vista). I purposely
missspell words and they are not underlined nor are
the identified as being
misspelled when I check the spelling. I have
checked the settings and am
using English as the language. Everything else
looks ok.
