spell check
Probably your child's actions are just coincidental.
For Word to spell-check, whether by using the ToolsSpelling & Grammar dialog, or by showing red underlines for the ³check spelling as you type² function, you need to tell it which language you are using. As a test, click in a word that isn¹t being spell-checked. Go to ToolsLanguage and see what language the ³Mark Selected Text As² blue selection bar is highlighting, and if the "do not check spelling or grammar" box is checked. If the language doesn't match the one you think you are using, Word won't catch errors. If the "do not check spelling or grammar" box is checked, Word won't catch errors. To fix, select the entire document, go to Tools | Language, and assign the right language and make sure "do not check spelling or grammar" is NOT checked.
