How do I get spell check to work in Word 2007
I am having problems with spell checker in Word 2007. Brand new docs seem to
work OK but I have copied some text from an old doc and spell check says ok when there are still errors. Sometimes get a messge which is something like "text and grammar marked has not been checked". Any suggestions please? |

How do I get spell check to work in Word 2007
In order for text to be spell checked, it has to have a proofing language
applied for which you have a dictionary installed and not be marked with the do not check spelling flag. Select the text then double click the language button in the status bar at the bottom of your Word screen to activate the language dialog (or set language from the Review tab of the ribbon) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Andrew C wrote: I am having problems with spell checker in Word 2007.

The error message you describe tells you that text marked "Do not check
spelling or grammar" was not checked. To remedy this, Ctrl+A to select the entire document (body only--this won't affect headers/footers), and on the Review tab choose Proofing | Set Language. Make sure an appropriate language is selected and that the box for "Do not check spelling or grammar" is entirely clear. -- Suzanne S.
