My spell check for Word documents is not working at all?
You can delete the registry key without renaming. It will automatically
recreate for you. -- Thank you, Pensio "kjunghans" wrote: I found the solution to my problem in another thread. The solution was to delete or rename a registry key. Rename the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0" to zz1.0. If all is good, go back and delete zz1.0. -- Kevin Junghans "kjunghans" wrote: I have the same problem in Office 2007 where the spell checker does not work and the files MSSP3EN.LEX and MSSP3ENA.LEX are not installed. I have Vista and I went to Progams and Features. I tried Repair on Office 2007 and it did not work. I tried Change and found that all of the Proofing Tools were installed. So I removed them and then added them back again. But still the files are not installed. Any suggestions on how to fix this? -- Kevin Junghans "Terry Farrell" wrote: You must have Vista then (as already said, it helps to know what versions of software you are using). Try Programs and Features instead. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Daryl Bursch" wrote in message ... I go to start menu, then I bring up the control panel but there is no icon or choice that is called "add remove programs"?

That way the helpers here won't have to guess. In Word 2007: 1. Open a document that has this problem, press Ctrl+A to select all of the text 2. Click on Review tab | Proofing: Set Language | choose your language | uncheck the "Detect language automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default | OK. 3. Click on Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | check the "Check spelling as you type" and "Check grammar with spelling" boxes | uncheck the "Hide spelling errors in this document only" and "Hide grammar errors in this document only" boxes | OK. 4. Press F7 to rerun spelling and grammar checks, and save the document. In some cases in an upgrade installation to Office 2007 from Office 2003, the spellcheck files do not get installed. Look in your "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof" folder to see whether the MSSP3EN.LEX and MSSP3ENA.LEX files are present. If not, then reinstall the English proofing tools feature from your Office 2007 CD. Daryl Bursch wrote: Dean I already tried to find the Tools, Options but I cannot even find that choice on the new Office 2007 Word that was just installed. I wish they would not change the program so much I don't recognize anything. I had 2003 and this is totally different? Can you tell me where to find Tools? When I bring up a Word document all I get on the top as choices are... Home, Insert, Page layout, References, Mailings, Review and View. So where do I find "Tools"? "DeanH" wrote: First confirm that on Tools, Options, Spelling and Grammar that both boxes for "Check Spelling/Grammar as you type" are checked. Then check that the text you are typing is not in a style that has "Do not check spelling or grammar" checked on the Language dialog box. If it is change the style appropriately. Hope this helps DeanH "Daryl Bursch" wrote: When I miss spell a word on purpose I noticed spell check is not finding it. I click spell check and it does just like my 2003 version did and says "spell check complete" but it did not find the miss spelled word? how can that be? |
