Default spell checker does not work (Word 2007)

Hi all

I have a document that i did not create and that I am editing.

I am not interested in spell-checking the whole document, but only the
parts that I write.

1) I highlighted the whole text using CTRL-A

2) I selected UK English as the speeling language and checkmarked the
"Do not spell check" box

3) Saved the doc

4) I put the cursor where I want to type and then uncheck the "Do not
spell check". But nothing happens, no spell checking as you type.

What can I do?

Thanks

I'm not sure I see the point of (2). You should instead *clear* the check
box. The article Graham references may help.
