Spell check does not work in Word 2007
Recently purchased Office 2007.
I noticed the spell checker does not work. I typed a document and misspelled every word and spell check did not try to correct one. Went into word options and verified English (US) was primary language. Any suggestions as what to do or is the just a 2007 bug?? |

Spell check does not work in Word 2007
Hi ?B?S2V2aW4=?=,
Recently purchased Office 2007. I noticed the spell checker does not work. I typed a document and misspelled every word and spell check did not try to correct one. Went into word options and verified English (US) was primary language. But are you sure the text you typed is formatted in that language? When you click in a misspelled word, look down at the status bar and check the language. (If you don't see the language, right-click the status bar and choose to add that from the list.) If it shows English, what happens if you press F7 to force a spell check?

Well, I did find out the status bar (where and what it is), but "Language" is
checked but no indication of what language is displayed. -- -Dee "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?S2V2aW4=?=, Recently purchased Office 2007. I noticed the spell checker does not work.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007
Hi ?B?RGVl?=,
Well, I did find out the status bar (where and what it is), but "Language" is checked but no indication of what language is displayed. Turn Language off and on, watching in the Status bar to see what disappears/reappears. What do you see on that thing? If you click it, the Set Language dialog box should appear. The language of the selected text should be highlighted. What is it? Are either of the two checkboxes at the bottom activated? Which one(s)?

Cindy,
Tried all your suggestions below before I actually read your last post. Langauge is English and bottom two check boxes are indeed cleared (always have been). This seems more insidious than just Word 2007 since I can't get PowerPoint 2007 to spell check either. I think I may post on the Office discussion group as well. Is there a bug in your opinion? -- -Dee "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?RGVl?=, Well, I did find out the status bar (where and what it is), but "Language" is checked but no indication of what language is displayed.

Spell check does not work in Word 2007
My colleague has the same problem. The words don't show with a squiggly red
line that they are misspelled, though they clearly are. Language is English. We tried changing to French (where the squiggly lines do show up because the words aren't in French) and then back to English. We force a respell and it still doesn't catch them. The box to "Not check these words" is not checked. Any ideas? "Dee" wrote: Cindy, Tried all your suggestions below before I actually read your last post.
