First, the spell checker is only a tool. It does not substitute for proof
reading. It will flag words as misspelled because it does not recognize them, even if spelled correctly. It will not flag a word as misspelled if it is the wrong word. i.e. form / from Second, it is likely that the words not being checked are formatted for no proofing. Open one of the documents and press Shift-F1. Then click on one of the misspelled words. Word will display the formatting applied to that Word (and the source of the formatting). If it says "no proofing" or "do not check spelling and grammar" you need to modify the language setting. Select your entire document (Ctrl-A) and use Tools Language to change the setting.
