I typeset a book in Word 2003, SP1. I had it professionally edited via
revision tracking.

Knowing the risks of changing a "finished" product, I edited some of the
front chapters. Since these were limited changes, I proofed my own work and
relied on spell checker to flag typos. This turned out to burn me bad due to
what I can only call a bug in the Word spell checker.

Most typos were flagged and corrected. But, some words were not. I've tried
everything from setting the "recheck document" option in spelling and grammer
options, to checking the Language options to ensure that spell checking would
occur.

For some reason, in certain places in my document, spelling errors are not
flagged. They are not flagged as I type them (even though this option is
turned on), and they are not flagged when I run spell check. I turned off all
grammar checking thinking that it might interfere with spell checking. But,
it made no difference.

Is there a known issue with spell checker not working on portions (sections)
of a document? Are there any known issues with spell checker not working
properly in conjunction with revision tracking?
