MS Word does not spell check
I have a document created in an earlier version of MS Word. I now use MS
Office Professional 2007. Regardless the document itself will not work with spell check. Word tells me everything is correct. I have read the blogs and tried all the suggestions, language boxes, options for spelling, re-loaded software, updates and nothing is helping in this one document which is not €śprotected or locked€ť I can make changes to it just no mistakes or the are not caught by spell check. I do not wish to re-type this whole document, any suggestions? |

MS Word does not spell check
If you have done all the usually Spell Check cures and have looked at the
following webpage: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm then possibly the document has corrupted. Several options to try: 1. Open and Repair, in the File Open dialog, there is a downward-pointing arrow on the right end of the Open button. After choosing the file, click that arrow to get a small menu. Click "Open and Repair" in that menu. 2. Copying all but the last paragraph mark into a new document. 3. Open new blank file; Insert, File. 4. If these doesn't work, try opening the document in WordPad. 5. If all else fails, go back to the Open dialog in Word and set the "Files of type" box to "Recover Text from Any File". You'll get a lot of garbage, but some or all of the text should be there. Good luck DeanH "parkview" wrote: I have a document created in an earlier version of MS Word.

MS Word does not spell check
What ended up fixing this issue was turning on the €śReveal formatting€ť Option
and highlighting the text that would not spell check then clicking on the Language link in the Reveal Formatting windows pane and un checking €śDo not Check Spelling or grammar€ť. Click on Format then Reveal Formatting Next click Highlight the text that is not spell checking and you will notice in the right pane, that underneath the language option, it will change to €śDo not Check Spelling or grammar€ť At this point you will need to click on Language in the right windows pane and uncheck the box of €śDo not Check Spelling or grammar€ť I did notice that if you try to highlight more than two pages of text at a time. The Un-checking of €śDo not Check Spelling or grammar€ť option will not work. (Important not to highlight more than two pages of text.) Continue doing this until you have reached the end of your document, two pages at a time. -- Richard Young MCP * 4 -2000 CNA 5.0 A+ Net + HP IBM "parkview" wrote: I have a document created in an earlier version of MS Word.
