Default can't get word to spell check. Have switched on in spelling optio.

Open a document where this problem occurs. Press Ctrl+A to select all
of the text. Click on Tools | Language | Set Language | choose your
language | uncheck the "Do not check spelling or grammar" and "Detect
language automatically" boxes | Default | OK. Press F7 to rerun
spellcheck.

I had the same question: why did my spell check stop working? I did a search
through this newsgroup, found this answer (patting my self on the back) and
implemented it and it works. Thank you.

But out of curiosity: What happens that makes a document that opened with
the spell checker on and was working, underlining mis-spelled words, all of
sudden change to not working?

Sometimes it can result from pasting in text from another source (especially
the Web) and then pressing Enter at the end of the pasted paragraph to get a
new one, which perpetuates the "(no proofing)" format.
