Default Why isn't Word's spell check picking up misspellings?

I'm using Microsoft Word 2003, and I have a document that contains single
letters such as e and y with spaces around them. They're in Times New Roman
font. The spell check does not pick them up as errors. E and y do not
appear in my custom dictionary. How can I get Word to recognize them as
errors?

Because letters can be used as letters (either per se or as part of a
numbering system), they are not marked as misspelled.
