Angry Auto spell check not working

I am using Word for Mac 2011, version 14.2.3 using OSX 10.8.1. The spellchecker has stopped highlighting misspellings and grammar mistakes automatically. With each document that I bring up (whether or not I have done this procedure before), I have to go to ToolsLanguage and reset the language to U.S. English and uncheck the box that says "Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar."

I have looked at all the preferences and settings, and have not been able to find a way to make it go back to checking automatically. Any ideas?

Default Auto spell check not working

You could try opening the normal.dotm template (or whatever the Mac
version is called) -- you have to do that with the Office button (or
equivalent) and "Open Template" command, and fix the settings
there.
