Automatic Spell Check Not Working
Hello all. I am having a problem getting my automatic spell check to work. I
keep checking the office tab under proofing and the auto spell check is on. I also press F7 and the program will not find any errors in the document, even when I have just pressed random letters and it is definately not a word. Does nayone know how to fix this? |

Automatic Spell Check Not Working
It might be that the language is set to "Do not check."
If you're using Word 2003, you can check this under Tools - Language - Set Language. If the "Do not check" box is checked, select the entire document (Ctrl-A) and then go back to that box and uncheck it. If it is grayed out, you'll need to click it twice to uncheck it. I'm not sure where that control can be found in Word 2007, but the logic is probably similar. I hope this helps. Fred "Shari" wrote: Hello all.

Automatic Spell Check Not Working
Thank you both for the help, however, this does not seem to be the problem. I
am using Word 2007, and I made sure the language was set to U.S. English, and the spell check is still not working.... Any other ideas???? I appreciate any help......
