Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
I cannot get spell check to work in Word 2007 (using Vista). I purposely
missspell words and they are not underlined nor are the identified as being misspelled when I check the spelling. I have checked the settings and am using English as the language. Everything else looks ok. Jim |

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Click the Office button, then Word Options and check the spelling tab.
Everything look fine there? If it does, try it again.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
I don't have a spelling tab, but a "proofing" tab. When I click that and
view the spelling options, under the Word option, the first four blocks are checked. I clicked OK. I then typed a document with errors. Nothing was underlined, and when I checked spelling, it indicated there were no errors inspite of the mannnny that I put in the document. My default language is set to English.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
I appreciate your help, Patrick. I purchased what I believe to be the
English Language version. I walked in to CompUSA in Austin and picked it off the shelf. The package says, "Microsoft home and Student 2007." Any other suggestions?

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
The office button is not blinking.
The status bar does not mention English (US) or any other language. Nothing happens when I move the cursor over any word. On the "Review" tab, I looked at "Set Language." It is set to "English (United States)" I am baffled. Jim "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote: The office button is blinking or not? As language it correctly says English (US) in the status bar?

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Does it show any icon left of English (US) when you go into Review tab,
Set Language? The icon should be a checkmark with ABC written over it.

Yes, it does have the ABC checkmark icon just to the left of English (US) on
the same line. It is the first selection. Still doesn't work. Still baffled.... Jim "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote: Does it show any icon left of English (US) when you go into Review tab, Set Language?

any errors either?

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Correct, it doesn't catch any of the errors, and there are many and obvious.
I also tried it on Excel 2007 and the same story there. I thought about reloading everything, but am worried that may mess up my Microsoft licenses and registration. Any other ideas?

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
I did as you suggested. It completed its work and made one correction, but
it wasn't the correction that would fix this problem. I even double checked the language setting (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings) and verified that it was set to English(US). I even rebooted. Did not work. Any other suggestions. (again, I appreciate your ideas).

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Hi ?B?SmltYm8=?=,
I even double checked the language setting (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings) and verified that it was set to English(US). This is a long thread, so I may have missed it; apologies all around, if so: Have you made sure the "Do not check spelling or grammar" check box is NOT activated for the text in question?

Thanks for joining in. I checked the "Do not check spelling or grammar" option and it is NOT CHECKED. The problem still persists. The spell check does not work. Your continued assistance is appreciated. Mmmm. OK, back to the really, really basic trouble-shooting steps: 1. Do you continue to see the problem if you start Windows in Safe Mode 2. How about if you start Word in Safe Mode (by holding down the Ctrl key) 3. Which program do you use as your email editor?

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Thank you for the suggestion, Beth. I was able to run the repair option and
received the acknowledgment that Word 2007 had been reconfigured. However, the problem still persists. I simply cannot successfully run spell check in Word 2007 inspittteee of the mannny spellling errrors I put in my documents. Nothing gets underlined and the spell checker completes without identifying any errors. I am baffled as to what to do.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Hi Everyone -
This is Jim just letting you know that the problem has been resolved. I called the Microsoft Support line (I have 90 days of free assistance) and they used Regedit to reset the default values for the proof checker. I certainly did not mess with them to begin with. When I installed the software, I clicked on all the "recommend" settings. Don't know what happened, but I am glad it is fixed. They used Easy Share to take control of my computer and did all the work while I watched. Worked nicely. Thanks again to everyone for your assisance. Jim "Jimbo" wrote: Thanks, I will give them a call. Appreciated your help through this. Jim "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote: At this point, the only recommendation left is to contact Microsoft Support.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Thanks so much for passing along the resolution - what you encountered is
indeed odd! btw, did they happen to give you a support number? If so, would you mind emailing it to me (I wouldn't post it in the newsgroup). I can ask someone from Microsoft to look it up and supply the exact steps they used to correct the issue. It would be nice to have for future reference. :-) To obtain a valid email address, remove NoSpam4Me from: . Thanks again! Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I did as you suggested. It completed its work and made one correction, but it wasn't the correction that would fix this problem. I even double checked the language setting (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings) and verified that it was set to English(US).

Hi Eric,
We don't have any information yet about the solution to this problem. Have you tried the suggestions in this thread already? If not, please do so. If yes, your best bet right now is to call Microsoft product support as well.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
As Patrick noted, we don't have one right now but as he suggests, make sure
you've ruled out everything that was suggested in this thread first. Jimbo did email me his incident number info (thanks Jimbo - and sorry about the email address!) and I've asked someone to look up the specifics for us. Once we hear something we'll post the information in this thread. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Hi Everyone - This is Jim just letting you know that the problem has been resolved. I called the Microsoft Support line (I have 90 days of free assistance) and they used Regedit to reset the default values for the proof checker. I certainly did not mess with them to begin with. When I installed the software, I clicked on all the "recommend" settings. Don't know what happened, but I am glad it is fixed. They used Easy Share to take control of my computer and did all the work while I watched. Worked nicely. Thanks again to everyone for your assisance.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007?
Hi Beth,
As a guess, from the other times I've seen a similar case of this reported, the registry change that fixed it in those cases was to locate registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override\en-US and check the list of DLL and LEX entries to see if they're pointing to real or nonexistant files. If non existant (probably a pair) Rename these to oldDLL and oldLEX (although I suspect that exporting then zapping that key then running a diagnostic would also work). But, just a guess  ============= "Beth Melton" wrote in message ... Thanks so much for passing along the resolution - what you encountered is indeed odd! btw, did they happen to give you a support number? If so, would you mind emailing it to me (I wouldn't post it in the newsgroup). I can ask someone from Microsoft to look it up and supply the exact steps they used to correct the issue. It would be nice to have for future reference. -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |
