Default Why is Mark Grammar Errors greyed out in Word Proofing?

Some of the checkboxes like "Detect language automatically" and "Do not check
spelling or grammar" did not seem to be available. I began to suspect that
the original installation did not go right, so I completely un-installed MS
Office 2007 and then re-installed it this time from a source directory on a
server rather than a CD. Then the Word 2007 Proofing tools appeared as
advertised and began to function normally.

Once again, I appreciate your time on this matter.

Regards,
Ken

In Word 2007, open a document that has this problem, press Ctrl+A to
select all of the text, click on Review tab | Proofing group: Set
Language | choose your language | uncheck the "Detect language
automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default |
OK. The option to "Show readability statistics" is only available when
"Check grammar with spelling" is selected.

Als greyed out is Check Grammar, and Show Readability.
