Spell Check not working in Word 2007
I thought it was strange word wasn't correcting any spelling errors while
writing my paper tonight. I didn't catch some errors until I was proof reading my paper. I tried to open a new document and paste the text containing a known misspelled word and spell check still didn't catch it. So I opened WordPerfect and pasted the text into that program and it brought up errors I didn't even catch in proof reading it. Any one have any ideas on how to fix this? Should I uninstall word and reinstall it? |

Spell Check not working in Word 2007
Thanks, Jay. I had the same problem with Word not recognizing misspelled
words, and I referred to the link you provided below. The solution that worked for me was the registry edit to remove the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override" key. I did not have to restart my computer, however, just close out Word and re-open it. Now spelling and auto-correction are working as they should. Thanks again!
